Because the EU are the masters of ridiculous rules I think its sometimes the case of " If anyone asks, tell them its an EU ruling!" and everyone thinks "Yeh, that'll be right!"My Majesty made for him a garden anew in order

I googled the question and nothing came up relating to UE rules and mats. A whole of load of our cousins from across the pond asking the same question did though. Some from a couple years back, all pertaining to rented apartments and door mats. Don't think its a law there but the rumor probably drifted across the ocean :-/

No! Have you asked the housing association concerned for a copy of the legislation stating the issues/laws re: doormats. Box em in a corner. Or call it an outside carpet - it is not a doormat!Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better...Albert Einstein

Again, she has NO issues over the actual H&S issue - it's being lied to that she/we do not appreciate.Last edited by zazen999; 10-10-2011, 08:16 PM.

Feeling that my mediocre link to the original question let not just myself but also Zazen and the millions of gardeners who also take a definate interest in health and safety down.
I took it upon myself ton spend 45 mins researching.
After reading an article in Health and Safety International I feel I now have a small understanding..
My belief is that there is legislation under The EU Health and Safety at work ruling that all employees must not be exposed to obsticles that may cause a trip/fall.
I think the Council in question are using this as an excuse or over-reacting to a barmy rule.
However, in response to your original question my answer is now....probably yes, there probably is a law somewhere.<*}}}>< Jonathan ><{{{*>

Landlords do have a duty of care to their tenants but I can find nothing specific about trip hazards in domestic dwellings.
