It has been announced that the results of the UK's biggest review of health and safety legislation in over a decade will be disclosed by the end of the month.
Professor Ragnar Löfsted, who is carrying out an independent review, will reveal his findings on Monday 28 November. The news was announced during the "Reforming health and safety at work" event, which was held in London. Department for Work and Pensions' chief medical advisor and director for health, work and wellbeing Dr Bill Gunnyeon confirmed the date during his talk about the Government's progress in reforming the health and safety industry's legislation.
He also revealed that more than 2,640 health and safety consultants have now joined the Occupational Safety and Health Consultants' Register (OSHCR). Dr Gunnyeon added, "Whatever we do going forwards has to manage to make sure health and safety legislation doesn't inhibit growth of business."
