FFI applies where the HSE is the enforcing authority. Other health and safety regulators, including local authorities, cannot recover their costs under the scheme and it does not apply where businesses already pay fees to the HSE through other arrangements. For example, it does not apply to licensable work with asbestos carried out by license-holders under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, as the licence fee contains an element to cover the costs of inspection. (See Chapter 6 for information on asbestos.)
