To save everyone from going through the 60 articles :

58 Having regard to all the foregoing considerations, it must be concluded that the Commission has not established to the requisite legal standard that, in qualifying the duty on employers to ensure the safety and health of workers in every aspect related to the work by limiting that duty to what is reasonably practicable, the United Kingdom has failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 5(1) and (4) of Directive 89/391.

59 The action brought by the Commission must therefore be dismissed.

So, (this is Merv again)


"As far is is reasonably practicable" is OK.

Merv, When was this decided, the lasty I heard this had to go to the full council for ratification and had only passed its first stage.
