Issue
Public unable to use Weighbridge at the A23 Handcross under new health and safety regulations.
Panel opinion
This matter relates to road design and traffic legislation rather than health and safety at work but, on the basis of the information to hand, the panel agree with the relevant authorities that it is a sensible change to have made in the light of the changes to road layout. Vehicles exiting the site would now have to merge into fast moving traffic on the main highway.
