Adventurous Activities & The Eu Working At Height Directive (EDM789)

Adventurous Activities & The Eu Working At Height Directive

EDM number 789 in 2003-04, proposed by Julian Lewis on 08/03/2004.

That this House is surprised and concerned at the attitude of the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) in respect of EU Directive 2001/45/EC laying down safety rules for working with ladders and ropes; notes the sensible approach of other EU countries, which realise that the Directive was never intended to cover outdoor adventurous activities such as rock-climbing, caving and mountaineering, let alone high-wire circus acts; deplores the failure thus far to rule such activities as being outside the scope of the proposed regulations; and accordingly calls on the HSE to abandon such gold-plating of sensible suggestions, which reduces them to absurdity.

This motion has been signed by a total of 85 MPs.
