- Decision(s) EIR 12.5.b: Upheld
The complainant has requested communications, documents, photographs and other information relating to the removal of asbestos at a demolition site. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) refused to provide the information it held under the exception at regulation 12(5)(b) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that the regulation 12(5)(b) exception is engaged but the public interest favours disclosure. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the information within the scope of the request, with appropriate redactions under section 40(2) for any personal data.
