The HSE stated that there were approximately 38 health and safety related EU laws that were on the schedule to be revoked in December 2023, mostly due to them being superseded or obsolete. There are some texts that have been revoked that will be removed from the Red-on-line database where appropriate, once there has been confirmation that the text is no longer in force. The changes will be processed as usual as part of the quarterly update process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Government departments across the UK have also released several texts amending the wording of in regulations to remove reference to \u2018retained EU law\u2019 and have instead changed this to \u2018assimilated law\u201d or alike.
