§ Mr. GalbraithTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment how occupational health factors are taken into account in determining the Health and Safety Executive's hazard rating system for the inspection of premises.
§ Mr. McLoughlinWhen determining current health performance at inspection visits, to enable them to determine or review the inspection rating calculated, inspectors from the Health and Safety Executive's field operations division (FOD) take into account the action taken by employers, owners and the self employed to both identify risks to health and to prevent or control the risk so far as is reasonably practicable.
Field operations division is currently looking at new approaches to stimulate systematic collection of information on health risks further to refine the targeting of inspection visits planned on the basis of the rating system.
