The Carriage of Dangerous Goods and Use of Transportable Pressure Equipment Regulations 2009

The Secretary of State makes the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 15(1) to (5), (6)(a) and (b) and (8), 43(2) to (6) and 82(3)(a) of, and paragraphs 1, 2(1), 3, 4(1), 6 to 9, 11 to 16 and 20 of Schedule 3 to, the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 19741 as

read with paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 19722.

These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 and it appears to the Secretary of State that it is expedient for the reference to the Dangerous Goods Directive to be construed as a reference to that instrument as amended from time to time.

In accordance with section 50(1) and (1AA) of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 19743 the Secretary of State has consulted the Health and Safety Executive and such other bodies as appear to the Secretary of State to be appropriate.
