About the Health and Safety team
Enforcement policy
Our enforcement policy aims to ensure that employers and the self-employed are complying with the health, safety, welfare and employment protection duties contained in the Health and Safety at Work Act (and the relevant statutory provisions), as far as is reasonably practicable.
We'll use our enforcement powers to protect persons at work, the self-employed and anyone affected by work activities. Where other enforcement agencies have a role, we'll liaise with them.
All interventions are planned in accordance with the Health and Safety Executive's (HSE) advice on targeting interventions, which can be found on the HSE website.
