Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

EXPLANATORY NOTE

1 Regulation 2 amends an error in regulation 3 of the Notification of Conventional Tower Cranes Regulations 2010 (S.I. 2010/333). The amendment restricts the scope of the exception in regulation 3(4) of those Regulations to a person supplying a conventional tower crane by way of sale, agreement for sale or hire-purchase agreement.

2 A regulatory impact assessment of the effect that the Notification of Conventional Tower Cranes Regulations 2010 will have on the costs of the business and the voluntary sector is available from the Health and Safety Executive, Economic Advisers Unit, Redgrave Court, Merton Road, Bootle, Merseyside, L20 7HS. This instrument amends those Regulations to reflect the position as set out in that impact assessment.
