Health and safety act and lime scooters.

Desmond from Dinsdale

I know, "Not another Lime scooters discussion!" - but this one is because I'm curious about how the new Health and Safety Act applies to the situation. The act was introduced to make life safer for everyone - then these scooters were introduced. In every industry today strict controls have to be put in place to ensure nobody hurts themselves even when it seems obvious that they would have to do something really stupid to do so.
So then, how does this apply to the scooters and perhaps having controls in place to ensure under-age riders aren't using them and riding in the wrong places? [GPS control could shut them down when riding around the lake for example] Could someone be prosecuted when someone underage gets hurt or killed riding them?
I'm hoping someone who knows more about the Health and Safety act could shed some light on this.
