<p>The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) must prepare dossiers on restrictions in
line with the legal requirements of Annex 15 of UK REACH. In doing so HSE may also
refer to guidance produced for the EU REACH restriction process, as well as drawing
on its previous experience of producing dossiers when the UK was part of the EU.</p><p>
</p><p>The responsibility for preparing impact assessments for enacting restrictions
in secondary legislation resides with Defra as the government department responsible
for UK REACH legislation and policy.</p><p> </p><p>HSE provides Defra with a socioeconomic
analysis alongside any restriction dossier. Restrictions proposals need to contain
a description of the risks as well as information on the health and environmental
benefits, the associated costs and other socio-economic impacts. This socioeconomic
analysis takes account of UK REACH Annex 15 legal requirements and HM Treasury guidance
on cost and benefit analysis.</p>
