They are not rules, they are enabling Acts, Regulations companies and local authorities cannot make up their own rules as that is illegal and would be a criminal act punishable by a hefty fine and possibly jail.
You cannot make up your own health and safety rules regardless of how big a company you may be that is why the law is there to prevent such things from happening.
