Health and Safety Law 2024 (October 2024)

In the past, some specific groups of workers, including many transport workers, were not covered by the Working Time Regulations, but following a series of amendments, groups that were previously excluded from the WTR are now included. The UK regulations now include “non-mobile workers” in most of the previously “excluded” sectors, such as air, road and rail transport and offshore work. This means, for example, that clerical workers in these sectors are now fully covered.
