Health and Safety Executive
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions which sectors of the economy are excluded from the requirement for inspection by the Health and Safety Executive.
- Answer
-
No sectors of economic activity are excluded from the requirement for inspection by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
HSE, like all publicly funded bodies has to make decisions on relative priorities. Consistent with the Government's framework document 'Good Health and Safety, Good for Everyone', HSE's proactive inspections are focussed on higher risk sectors (eg construction, waste and recycling, and certain areas of manufacturing) and major hazard industries. HSE inspectors also visit premises to investigate accidents or concerns that might lead an inspection where intelligence suggests, that standards of health and safety management are inadequate and that significant risks exist.
