CB024-003 Better Regulations

"One of changes I am most passionate about is the radical change we've made to health and safety by making it subject to a test of negligence. Because of a very simple change in the law we bought last year now there is not a strict liability on health and safety you have to have been negligent so in a court of law you've got a test of reasonableness. If you have acted reasonably you can not be convicted under health and safety rules" Matthew Hancock MP
