But is it legal?
"(This) principle of risk management is an established principle of English law, known as ALARP. It is a requirement formulated by Lord Asquith in these terms: one has an obligation to reduce risks As Low As Reasonably Practicable. This formulation was emphasised by Lord Cullen in the Piper Alpha inquiry, as I understand it."
I borrowed this from a different thread but it speaks volumes not TO BE TRAINED TO DEAL WITH ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS or TO USE THE TRAINING YOU HAVE to deal with the same, would constitute a breach of that duty of care. It would seem then that this change would go against what is already recognised in English Law...(do tell me if I am wrong)
