223G: Withdrawal of improvement notice

You could also call this:

“A Labour Inspector can take back a notice telling someone to fix something at work, but they can still give a new notice about the same problem.”

A Labour Inspector can take back an improvement notice at any time. This means they can cancel it whenever they want. Even if they do this, it doesn’t stop them from giving you another improvement notice about the same issue later. It’s like erasing a note and then being able to write a new one if needed.
