HSE Failing To Investigate

Following the rise in reported deaths at work, the latest issue of Hazards Magazine says that the resource starved Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is not able to investigate some of the most serious workplace accidents. It also says the HSE’s estimates of occupational cancers fall way short of the mark.

Ministerial discussions are currently underway to merge the HSE with the Health and safety Commission. The HSE is currently the operating arm of the commission.
