The Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment(1), being the Department concerned(2), makes the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by Articles 17(1) to (6), 20(2), 40(2), 45(1), 54(1) and (2) and 55(2) and paragraphs 1(1), (2), (3), (4), (8), (9), (10) and (11) and 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12(1), 13, 14, 15, 17 and 20(a) and (b) of Schedule 3 to, the Health and Safety at Work (Northern Ireland) Order 1978(3) (“the 1978 Order”).

The Regulations, apart from the modifications referred to in the next paragraphs, give effect without modifications to proposals submitted to it by the Health and Safety Executive for Northern Ireland under Article 13(1A)(4) of the 1978 Order after the Executive had carried out consultations in accordance with Article 46(3)(5).

It appears to the Department concerned that the modifications made by regulation 8 are expedient as set out in Article 54 (1) of the 1978 Order.

It also appears to the Department concerned not to be appropriate to consult bodies in respect of those modifications in accordance with Article 54 (5) of the 1978 Order.
