The Health and Safety and Nuclear (Fees) Regulations 2021

Made: 11-01-2021 | Laid: 13-01-2021 | Forced: 01-04-2021

Overview


The Health and Safety and Nuclear (Fees) Regulations 2021 revoke and replace The Health and Safety and Nuclear (Fees) Regulations 2016 and increase the fees charged by HSE and other licensing authorities by 2.2%.

Making these Regulations also extends the legal basis to charge for HSE and the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) as the 2016 Fees Regulations cease to have effect five years after coming into force.

It is the policy of the UK Government, Health and Safety Executive (HSE), and Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) to charge fees for a range of activities detailed in this  Statutory Instrument in order to recover their costs. This allows the duty holder, for example, to trade in hazardous substances or carry out work in high hazard conditions, once HSE/ONR are satisfied with the control mechanisms in place. It allows HSE to recover its costs where there has been a material breach of Health and Safety Law (Fee for Intervention) in industries not covered by permission type regimes.
