Health and Safety Executive
The
Health and Safety Executive
(
HSE
) is a
non-departmental public body
of the
United Kingdom
with its headquarters in
Liverpool
, England. It is the body responsible for the encouragement, regulation and enforcement of
workplace health, safety and welfare
, and for research into occupational
risks
in
England and Wales
and
Scotland
. Responsibility in
Northern Ireland
lies with the
Health and Safety Executive for Northern Ireland
. The HSE was created by the
Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974
, and has since absorbed earlier regulatory bodies such as the Factory Inspectorate and the
Railway Inspectorate
though the Railway Inspectorate was transferred to the
Office of Rail Regulation
in April 2006. The HSE is sponsored by the
Department for Work and Pensions
. As part of its work HSE investigates industrial accidents, small and large, including major incidents such as the
explosion
and
fire
at
Buncefield
in 2005. Though it formerly reported to the
Health and Safety Commission
, on 1 April 2008, the two bodies merged.
