What is the role of the HSE?

The role of the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is primarily focused on enforcing health and safety regulations in the workplace. This involves creating and implementing guidelines to ensure that both employers and employees adhere to legal requirements designed to prevent workplace accidents, injuries, and illnesses. The HSE conducts inspections, investigates incidents, provides guidance on health and safety legislation, and supports organizations in improving their safety practices.
