HEALTH and safety officials are calling for people in and around Chester to give their thoughts on red tape.
The Red Tape Challenge, put forward by the Government and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is seeking views about regulations from the public, business and others like industry bodies and volunteers.
Health and safety regulation is one of six cross-cutting themes on the Red Tape Challenge website and the public will be able to give comments on health and safety throughout the whole of the Red Tape Challenge campaign.
But, from June 30, there will be a special three-week focus on health and safety regulation to encourage people to get involved and have their say.
Comments received will provide the Government with a clear picture of how regulations are perceived and will help them decide which regulations should stay, which change, and which go entirely.
Geoffrey Podger, HSE’s chief executive, said: “This is a genuine consultation which will capture the views of people who are affected by health and safety regulations.
We want to hear from all those with an interest with the aim of simplifying health and safety and making it more effective and proportionate for the benefit of business and the workforce of Britain.”
