The Health and Safety Executive has published a document which outlines the main features of the regulatory approach taken by HSE and local authorities in the drive to improve standards in health and safety performance.
The document, entitled Regulation of Health and Safety at Work, is designed to help businesses regulated by the HSE and those involved in health and safety promotion.
It is comprised of the main regulatory intervention techniques used to influence, encourage and advise business. Regulation of Health and Safety at Work also sets down how the HSE holds to account those who fail to meet their responsibilities.
