HSE has begun work to review both the:
- Pressure Systems Safety Regulations (PSSR)
- Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER)
This review was announced by the Treasury under the Regulatory Action Programme (RAP). This is a government initiative to reform the UK’s regulatory landscape in support of economic growth, innovation and business productivity.
Call for Evidence
HSE has launched a Call for Evidence as part of our review, which is now open for comments.
The purpose is to:
- understand whether any aspects of the regulations impose administrative or financial burdens that do not clearly support risk reduction
- identify areas where the regulations may no longer reflect current practice or technological developments
- explore whether there is scope to improve clarity or effectiveness
The information gathered will help HSE consider whether the current regulations continue to remain proportionate, effective, and responsive to current and emerging technologies.
Your perspectives and expertise will be invaluable in considering the future of these regulations and can help to shape our work.
We encourage you to contribute to the Call for Evidence and to share this opportunity with relevant colleagues and networks.
How to participate
There are 2 separate Calls for Evidence. Find out more and give your views:
The closing date for comments is 11 November 2025.
