| Proposals for new amending Regulations about the Classification, Packaging and Labelling of Chemicals: CHIP 3.2 The Chemicals (Hazard Information and Packaging for Supply) Regulations 2002 (CHIP) need to be amended. This is necessary because Great Britain (GB) must implement into domestic legislation the 2nd Adaptation to Technical Progress (ATP) to the European Community's (EC's) Dangerous Preparations Directive (1999/45/EC). The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) will also use this opportunity to correct a few minor editorial errors and to clarify some requirements. These additional editorial amendments do not alter the existing requirements of CHIP2. This Consultative Document explains the proposals and seeks views on the amending regulations proposed by the Health and Safety Executive |

| Proposals for amendments to the Health and Safety Information for Employees Regulations 1989 This Consultative Document sets out proposals for amending the Health and Safety Information for Employees Regulations (HSIER) 1989. These regulations require employers to provide information to their employees relating to health, safety and welfare at work, generally by display of a poster or alternatively by giving out leaflets. The proposed amendments would allow HSE to approve and publish new posters and leaflets which do not require the addition of updating of information by businesses displaying them, so reducing an unproductive burden, whilst maintaining or improving employees' access to useful information. The proposed amendments would also permit employers to continue to display their existing posters or give out existing leaflets, provided they are readable and provide up-to-date information on contacting the enforcing authority and EMAS. |
