Discusses the scope of the Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill and considers how it will affect health and safety breaches in the construction industry. The Bill, which is expected to be prioritised by government and become law in April 2008, will bring in a new regime that will exist outside the criminal court system, but will allow fines to be imposed or certain action taken for technical breaches of health and safety regulations. Outlines key changes that the Bill would introduce, including the new powers of regulators to shut down sites on a permanent or temporary basis, on the spot fines for minor or technical breaches on site, and offending companies to be put on probation.
