Health and Safety Law 2024 (October 2024)

• The UK has yet to adopt a single new ban or restriction on a harmful substance, compared to eight new restrictions on harmful substances in the EU. The UK has initiated just two restrictions, on harmful substances, in tattoo ink and lead in ammunition (see page 93), compared to 17 initiated by the EU. The UK restriction on substances in tattoo ink is also weaker than the EU’s.
