I have been asked a question by a colleague who is completing some coursework which has a unit on H&S. This question has left me a bit stumped.
The question asks for two examples of statutory H&S regulations (fine) BUT also two examples of non statutory regulations - eh? Surely a non statutory regulation is a contradiction in terms or am I going slowly mad?
Please help!

IEEE Regulations are non statutory; cannot think of another right now.

I thought IEE regs were now called BS 7671 (or similar!)
Presumably you want something that was not enabled under HSWA.
Can't think what though

Woudl EU Regualtions be a backdoor answer. While they are law I do not think they would appear on the Statute Book? I am unsure and this is a guess.

EU regs are directly enforcable in the member states as soon as they come into force. They do not need to be enacted by Member States as do directives.

Some professional organisations may have regulations, industrial bodies and acedemic institutions may have some too...
I would suggest they contact the person setting the paper and ask for clarification.

Adrian,
Once again we are agreeing. The point I made was that they are law. The question is would they actually appear on the statute book of the England and Wales as they were made in Europe?

Thanks for all the answers - I have a feeling that Tabs has got it right in this particular case. I think the body for which my colleague is doing the coursework is confabulating the word H&S regulation in the legal sense with the word regulation in the sense of the H&S rules of this association. I will query the person in question and if this is not the case will ask, nay insist, for an answer from the examiner. I let you know when I find out!

Tony,
No they don't appear on our statute book.

So it's what most of us would call common law then. That makes things much clearer!

That makes it clear what is non-statutory law but not non-statutory REGULATIONS. I will await the model answer with interest.

Ah, you're right Bob, it doesn't explain non-statutory regulations.
As you say, let's wait for the model answer.
Very odd question though when you think of all the thousands of sensible questions that could be asked. IMHO.

Surely any regulation not backed by law is a non statutory regulation such as safety shoes in a kitchen in this particular college have to be black or do not walk on the grass!!!!!!!!!

Hello,
I've had this question put to me when doing an NVQ a good number of years ago. My evidence was to provide examples of the company/organisation's own regulations, for example its own policies and procedures?

Posted By Robert K Lewis Just to be a bit helpful and wind up the "examiner" the following link might be an interesting teaser on where to look!! www.ukipg.org.uk/Prof_Reg_Booklet.pdf I offer this on the basis that they did not specifically ask for Non-statutory H&S regulation. If they did I am a bit stumped again. I think it is stretching the definition to apply it to the company's own rules and procedures but I can see the term in use by such as the organisations listed and other equivalents. The follow on note for Hazel is that I cannot see IOSH in the list! Any reason? :-) Bob

As promised I have sought an answer from the person who set the question and as I suspected they are calling a H&S regulation set by a professional body a 'non statutory H&S regulation'.
I did say that this way of distinguishing regulations could well cause confusion to students and does not fit into the typical description of the OHS legislative framework of this country. I also emailed the link to this discussion to demonstrate this.
Not sure if this will change the syllabus but there you go, mystery solved.
Have a good weekend one and all.
Jennifer
