Not sure and not really clear in the regs

[rich3009]

The IEE Regulations are non-statutory but, if they are adhered to
compliance with which one of the following statutory regulations is most
likely?
a) Electricity Safety, Quality and Continuity Regulations 2002
b) Electricity at Work Regulations 1989
c) Cinematograph Regulations 1955
d) The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974

B or D not clear in the book itself

Look at the options and for it to be statutory it has to have been passed as a act of parliament.

 

[davesparks]

So you’ve narrowed it down to B or D, now ask yourself which one is more likely to be complied with purely by following the IEE wiring regulations?

The page before Part 1 has a note by the HSE.

 

[westward10]

You have weeded it down to two options so which is most likely. Look at the requirements of each option.
Edit, beaten to it

 

[Deleted member 26818]

No need to guess, just look at the note from the HSE.
These sorts of questions, the answer’s nearly always in the Regs.

 

[rich3009]

The note states you are likely to achieve conformity with the electricity at work regs but the answer on the exam is marked as Health and safety at work, however electricity at work regs do fall under the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974

See post #2

 

[rich3009]

so only the Health and safety at work have been passed as an act by parliament and the EWR are a subsection

Yes, the clue is in the name as in 3 end in “regulation” only ends in “act”.

The electricity at work regulations deal exclusively with electricity.
BS7671 relates to electricity.
The health and safety at work regulations deal with a multitude of things.
Will compliance with BS7671 prevent someone falling down a hole in a floor, stop a crane dropping something on your head, stop you getting run over by a dumper truck, etc?

All health and Safety Regulations are ‘Statutory Instruments’.
All 4 of the answers are statutory.

3 of the options can be altered without a act of Parliment being passed making them non statutory. Only 1 can be altered by passing a act of parliment making it statutory.

This is a sample question from the 2382 exam:

• 4.
  Which of the following documents is non-statutory?
  • A.
    Electricity Safety, Quality and Continuity Regulations
  • B.
    Electricity at Work Regulations
  • C.
    The Building Regulations
  • D.
    Requirements for Electrical Installations
    

 

[rich3009]

Now I'm confused as to the correct answer.
Examples of statutory documents
The statutory documents considered most applicable to electrical installations and/or the in-service inspection and testing of electrical equipment include:

1. The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 (HASAWA)
2. The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999
3. The Electricity at Work Regulations (EWR) 1989
4. The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER)

This is written within the EWR document

Guidance
This guidance is issued by the Health and Safety Executive. Following the guidance
is not compulsory, unless specifically stated, and you are free to take other action.
But if you do follow the guidance you will normally be doing enough to comply with
the law. Health and safety inspectors seek to secure compliance with the law and
may refer to this guidance


based on this I would say the Health and safety at work act is master to the lot.

This has become over complicated, #11 is pointing to the correct answer.

 

[rich3009]

The answer I have in front of me is Health and safety at work act, but these mock tests are sometimes wrong
