<p>The Secretary of State for Defence's Policy Statement for Health, Safety and Environmental
Protection (HS and EP) requires the Ministry of Defence (MOD) to comply with all applicable
UK legislation when operating within the UK, including for the operation of its white
and green fleet of Heavy Goods Vehicles. When operating overseas, the MOD applies
UK standards and arrangements where reasonably practicable and, in addition, responds
to host nations' relevant HS and EP expectations. Where MOD dis-applications, exemptions
or derogations from UK legislation apply, the MOD is required to maintain Departmental
arrangements that produce outcomes that are, so far as reasonably practicable, at
least as good as those required by UK legislation.</p>
