Does anyone know whether the THE WORKPLACE (HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE) REGULATIONS 1992 apply on a MoD site. I know there are some exceptions with regards to equipment, i.e. ships and planes, but what about MoD sites?

Not sure on seperate MOD sites but I know that H&S, COSH etc... is taken very seriously at barracks and workshops.

I'm a civvy on an Army base and H&S is taken very seriously (even down to showing us films about guns and telling us they may harm you!).

Yes. We are overly strict on H&S.

I completed 'Managing Health and Safety' a couple of years back.

We have a H&S Dept on Stn that are constantly poking there noses in!!

All electrical equipment is PAT tested......oils, glues, etc are all COSH categorised etc etc
