The Health and
Safety Executive have set up a number of consultative task forces to
assist UK implementation:
Finances -
Fee plus levy, but when will the levy start?
Transitional
arrangements - The review of existing products and the transfer
from COPR;
Usage Strategy
- to consider risk reduction measures. Output will be guidance not
regulation but can make recommendations beyond the scope of the
BPD.
*All of these
groups have now closed. On finance, we know that it will not be a levy
but a flat charge, annually, by company. Guidance has now been issued
on the transition between COPR and the BPD. The Usage Strategy group
has closed without conclusions. *
