Health and Safety Executive starts to charge for advice

Under a new proposal named 'Fee for Fault' the Health and Safety Executive will charge for letters and notices where in the past they would provide them free. The approximate cost for a letter will be £750 and for a notice it will be £1500.  The Government states that its aim is to raise £45 million each year commencing in April 2012.

This seems to be yet a further sign of the Government changing things that were working fine in the first place.
