Prior to 2011-12, numbers of inspection visits were not required as
part of HSE's performance measures and were not recorded. Estimated
inspection visits are included this 2010-11 figure based upon data
collected at that time but are not available for previous
years. 2 In-year figures are provisional. |
These figures reflect records of proactive inspections, reactive investigations and complaints followed up.
