NFIT inspectors are located throughout GB and respond to accidents and incidents in their local area. They can also call on support from a range of Specialist Inspectors if necessary. The team also targets proactive inspection of fairground rides with known problems and other areas of higher risk; for the coming year’s inspection plan, 19/20, inflatable devices are identified within it as an area of work.</p><p> </p><p>Online guidance freely available from HSE website has recently been revised and the content of this made known to industry dutyholders via their trade bodies.

HSE’s analysis of the data for injuries to members of the public at fairgrounds and theme parks in 2014/15 found that upwards of 75% of reported injuries did not meet the criteria for a RIDDOR reportable injury.</li></ol><p> </p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 05/02/2019 17:44:31 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/02/2019 answer text <p>In the event the UK leaves the EU without a deal, there would be a number of tools available to help mitigate adverse impacts for the food and drink industry, as well as for consumers and producers. These tools could include lowering applied tariffs on certain goods, alongside tariff rate suspensions and opening up autonomous tariff rate quotas.</p><p> </p><p>Different combinations of these tools would have different impacts on the food and drink industry, as would different degrees of tariff reduction. In addition, the competitiveness of the domestic industry is heavily affected by a number of other factors, including commodity prices, exchange rates and oil prices. These drivers will continue to apply when we leave the EU, regardless of tariff rates.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 05/02/2019 17:30:36 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley
