4 January 2006 - EHO's to Carry Out HSE Duties in MVR Workshops: "A new pilot scheme, whereby Environmental Health Officers (EHO's) will carry out Health and Safety Executive (HSE) duties within Motor Vehicle Repair (MVR) workshops, is being launched for evaluation by Peterborough City Council in Cambridgeshire. The HSE will evaluate the scheme prior to becoming a blueprint for Local Authorities (LA's) Nationwide.

The scheme emerged from a working in partnership group, consisting of Peterborough City Council Representatives, the HSE, the HSE's partnership and a Local Authority Group and although MVR's are the main focus of the scheme, it will also include dry cleaning and launderette businesses."
