The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is Britain’s national regulator for workplace health and safety, take a look at the latest updates.
Managing health and safety and controlling risk for businesses
HSE has guidance on managing health and safety and controlling risks for businesses. The managing health and safety webpages will help you find the right level of guidance for your business.
Lone working: protect those working alone
Lone workers can be at greater risk of harm as they may not have anyone to help or support them if things go wrong. As an employer, you must manage any health and safety risks before people can work alone. This applies to anyone contracted to work for you, including self-employed people. Read the guidance: Lone working: Protect those working alone - HSE.
Electrical safety at work
Electricity can kill or severely injure people and cause damage to property but simple precautions can help protect you, your workers and others around you. The HSE’s electrical safety at work webpages have guidance and resources on how to help reduce the risk of electrical injury.
Display screen equipment (DSE): eyes and eyesight testing
DSE work is visually demanding, and employers have certain legal responsibilities. The working safely with DSE webpages have information and guidance on how to protect workers' health.
Working Minds – Prevent stress and support mental health at work
