UK Motorists currently pay fuel duty and VAT on fuel, which means that those who use the roads the most, and do so in higher polluting cars, pay more tax. In addition, the Government uses the Vehicle Excise Duty system to encourage the uptake of cars with low carbon dioxide emissions (CO2<\/sub>) to help meet our legally binding climate change targets.<\/p> <\/p> However, technology is changing many aspects of the economy \u2013 including the vehicles we drive \u2013 and the government is considering how the tax system will need to adapt to manage those changes.<\/p>"}

These include the Construction Design and Management Regulations 2015, which integrate health and safety into the management of construction projects throughout the entire supply chain.<\/p> <\/p> In addition to the general framework for health and safety law, the Health and Safety Executive regulates health and safety in hazardous industries, including construction, through the use of permissioning regimes. These regimes include those set out in the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.<\/p> <\/p> Safety requirements for the sector are established by construction employers and representative bodies. Many of the requirements are embedded in qualifications, training courses and basic health and safety tests required by the sector to obtain skills cards, such as the Construction Skills Certification Scheme. Courses such as the Site Supervisors\u2019 Safety Training Scheme are endorsed by Build UK as the standard training for all supervisors working on member sites.<\/p> <\/p>"}
