This bill would change how risk is assessed under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. It would introduce separate risk assessment rules for play, leisure and work-based activities, and create simplified risk assessments for schools. If enacted, it would tailor safety requirements to different settings such as workplaces, schools, and leisure activities.
The bill is at the 2nd Reading in the Commons. It would still need to pass through the remaining stages in both Houses and receive Royal Assent to become law.
