The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is the national regulator for workplace health and safety in Britain. It was established under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and is an executive non-departmental public body, sponsored by the Department for Work and Pensions.
The HSE’s primary role is to prevent work-related death, injury, and ill health1. It provides information, guidance, and enforcement for businesses and workers in Great Britain. The HSE oversees both primary and secondary legislation, including the Health and Safety Work Act 1974.
The HSE also regulates building safety in England and is responsible for reporting some accidents, diseases, or near misses. It plays a crucial role in managing risks and protecting vulnerable workers, including disabled people, those pregnant, working alone, or at home.
