Health and safety at work

We have a statutory responsibility for the enforcement of health and safety law in a variety of workplaces. These are mainly in the distribution, retail, office, leisure and catering sectors.

Our main tasks are:

  • to undertake health and safety inspections at a frequency determined by risk assessment or otherwise in compliance with statute or centrally issued guidance
  • to assess all notified accidents and secure appropriate actions
  • to maintain records and report on activities at required intervals

Using the navigation menu, guidance can be found on some of the enquiries we receive most regularly.

Detailed information on a wide range of health and safety issues is available on the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) website|

The HSE site includes a section with free advice leaflets available for download.
