(2) The Chief Inspector must make every effort to make a report of a safety investigation publicly available—

(a)in the shortest possible time or within 12 months of the date of an accident being notified to the Chief Inspector, and

(b)in the case of a report to which the Directive applies, if it is not possible to produce such a report within that time, an interim report must be published within 12 months of the date of the accident being notified to the Chief Inspector.

(a)the information set out in Annex 1 of the Directive;

(b)conclusions relating to the facts of the evidence;

(c)where the facts cannot be clearly established, analysis and professional judgement to determine the probable facts;

(d)recommendations for future safety where appropriate.

(a)served a notice under this regulation upon any person who, or organisation which, could be adversely affected by the report or, if that person is deceased, upon such person or persons as appear to the Chief Inspector, at the time it is proposed to serve notice in accordance with this paragraph, as best to represent the interests and reputation of the deceased in the matter;

(b)considered the representations relating to the facts or analysis contained in the report which may be made to the Chief Inspector in accordance with—

(i)paragraph (6) by or on behalf of the persons served with such notice , or

(5) The notice referred to in paragraph (4)(a) shall be accompanied by a draft copy of the report.

(6) The representations referred to in paragraph (4)(b) must be in writing and must be served on the Chief Inspector within 30 days of service of the notice referred to in paragraph (4)(b) or within such further period as may be allowed under regulation 17.

(8) Where the Chief Inspector is of the view that a safety investigation will not have the potential to lead to the prevention of future accidents then a simplified report may be published in such manner as the Chief Inspector thinks fit.

(9) For the purposes of regulation 14(2) a report may be published in such manner as the Chief Inspector sees fit.

(10) Subject to any Court order under regulation 13, no person shall disclose any information—

(13) Where an inquest or fatal accident inquiry is to be held following an accident which has been subject to a safety investigation, a draft report may be made available in confidence to the coroner or procurator fiscal by the Chief Inspector.

(14) If any part of any document or analysis it contains to which this paragraph applies is based on information obtained in accordance with an inspector's powers under sections 259 and 267(8) of the Act, that part is inadmissible in any judicial proceedings whose purpose or one of whose purposes is to attribute or apportion liability or blame unless a Court, having regard to the factors mentioned in regulation 13(5)(b) or (c), determines otherwise.

(15) For the purposes of paragraph (14) the documents are any publication produced by the Chief Inspector as a result of a safety investigation.

(16) For the purposes of these Regulations where any inspector is required to attend judicial proceedings the inspector is not required to provide opinion evidence or analysis of information provided to them, or to provide information obtained in accordance with an inspector's powers under sections 259 and 267(8) of the Act where the purpose or one of the purposes of those proceedings is to attribute or apportion liability or blame unless a Court, having regard to all the factors mentioned in regulation 13(5)(b) or (c) determines otherwise.

Asesiadau Effaith

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
