The Carriage of Dangerous Goods and Use of Transportable Pressure Equipment Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010

The Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment1 being the Department concerned2, makes the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by Articles 17(1) to (6), 40(2) to (4), 55(2) of, and paragraphs 1, 2, 3(1), 5 to 8, 10 to 15 and 19 of Schedule 3 to, the Health and Safety at Work (Northern Ireland) Order 19783 (“the 1978 Order”) as read with paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 1972 (“the 1972 Act”)4.

These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the 1972 Act and it appears to the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment that it is expedient for the reference to the Dangerous Goods Directive5 to be construed as a reference to that instrument as amended from time to time.
