Title
£124-an-hour HSE site visit charges delayed
Article
Plans to charge contractors for visits by safety inspectors have been delayed by the Health and Safety Executive.
Contractors were braced for bills of up to £124-an-hour from next month when inspectors were due to start charging contractors for their time if safety breaches were discovered on site.
The HSE has confirmed that the “cost recovery” plan has been delayed until October at the earliest.
But it insisted the scheme has not been dumped and “is still going ahead” despite outrage among contractors.
