I am informed by the chairman of the Health and Safety Commission that all inspectors appointed to enforce the general provisions of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 see both United Kingdom-made and imported machinery etc. at the point of use in the normal course of their duties and take appropriate action on finding evidence to suggest that section 6 is not satisfied.
