These Regulations amend the Merchant Shipping and Fishing Vessels (Health and Safety at Work) (Asbestos) Regulations 2010 (“the 2010 Regulations”) which implement Council Directive 83/477/EEC(OJ No L263, 24.9.83, p25) as amended by Council Directive 91/382/EC (OJ No L206, 29.7.91 p16) and Directive 2003/18/EC (OJ No L97, 15.4.03, p48) of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of workers from the risk of exposure to asbestos at work. These directives have been repealed and replaced by a consolidated instrument, Council Directive 2009/148/EC (OJ No. L330, 16.12.2009, p28), which is given effect in relation to activities other than shipping through the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (S.I.2012/632) (“the CAR Regulations”).
Regulation 2 amends regulation 2 and regulation 4(8) of the 2010 Regulations. The changes bring these provisions into line with regulations 2 and 3 of the CAR Regulations.
They also introduce a new provision into the 2010 Regulations which requires the Secretary of State to review the operation and effect of the 2010 Regulations and publish a report by 12th July 2018, which is five years after the date on which these Regulations come into force and within every five years after that. Following a review it will fall to the Secretary of State to consider whether the 2010 Regulations should remain as they are, or be revoked or be amended. A further instrument would be needed to revoke the 2010 Regulations or to amend them.
