Legislation covering particular industries

In addition to the Workplace Regulations, there are a number of regulations that apply to certain types of high-risk workplaces and industries such as mines and quarries, offshore and nuclear installations, construction sites, and the railway industry. These regulations contain specific health, safety and welfare requirements relating to the hazards in those workplaces and industries.

The HSE website contains detailed guidance on the applicable regulations by sector, which can be accessed via the worker involvement pages at: www.hse.gov.uk/involvement/hsrepresentatives.htm
