Clerk of the Privy Council
(This note is not part of the Order)
The Order varies the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 (Application outside Great Britain) Order 1977 by adopting the definition of"offshore installation" contained in the Mineral Workings (Offshore Installations) Act 1971 as amended by the Oil and Gas (Enterprise) Act 1982 (article 2). The principal effect is to apply the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 to gas storage and accommodation installations and installations in transit. The definition of"pipeline" is extended to bring it more closely into line with the definition in the Petroleum and Submarine Pipe-lines Act 1975 (c. 74), as amended by the Oil and Gas (Enterprise) Act 1982 (article 3).
S.I. 1977/1232.
1971 c. 61; section 1 was substituted by the Oil and Gas (Enterprise) Act 1982 (c. 23), section 24.
