How many members of this forum have seen the latest report on the work of the HSE by the Select Committee on Work and Pensions?
There are two items that I particularly noted, those referring to "reasonably practicable" and to qualification for those engaged in health and safety advice/consultancy.

Chris, I think there was a previous thread discussing regulation of the profession arising from that Report.
I also noted the HSE Chair stressing the need for "easily digestible" risk assessment.
Having looked at some of the HSE website examples, I have to conclude that "easily digestible" does not always equate to "suitable and sufficient".
It is slightly worrying to see "general" and "hygiene and welfare" identified under a R/A hazard column (e.g. MVR.
That said, given that 50% or so of SME have NO Risk Assessments at all, this information and guidance (on balance) can't be a bad thing.Call me a cynic, but I do think that the Enforcers will be seeing a lot of their own work copied verbatim as SME Risk Assessments, despite the caveats on the website!
