What is the Health and Safety Executive (HSE)?
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is the UK's national regulator for workplace health, safety, and welfare. From the HSE's perspective, Health and Safety training is not just recommended—it is a legal duty under regulations such as the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. Employers must ensure that workers receive adequate training to perform their roles safely and competently. HSE-aligned courses are designed to equip employees, supervisors, and managers with the practical knowledge to identify hazards, assess risks, and control them effectively.
What Are the Health and Safety Regulations?
Health and safety in the workplace is governed by several key regulations, all designed to protect workers and ensure employers create safe, compliant environments. The foundation of UK health and safety law is the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, which places a legal duty on employers to protect the health, safety, and welfare of employees and others affected by their work activities.
Supporting this main Act are several important regulations, including:
- The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 – requires employers to carry out risk assessments and provide suitable training.
- The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 – covers safe lifting techniques and reducing musculoskeletal injuries.
- The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002 – focuses on managing exposure to harmful substances.
- The Work at Height Regulations 2005 – ensures safe systems when working at height.
- The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) 1998 – covers the safe use of machinery and tools.
These regulations are enforced by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and local authorities. Compliance is essential to avoid fines, enforcement notices, or prosecution, and most importantly, to keep your workforce safe.
What is the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 (HASAW)
The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 is the primary piece of legislation covering occupational health and safety in the UK. Often referred to as the HSWA 1974, this Act sets out the legal duties that employers, employees, and the self-employed must follow to ensure a safe and healthy working environment. It applies to all workplaces and sectors, from offices and construction sites to factories, schools, and healthcare settings.
Under the Act, employers have a legal responsibility to protect the health, safety, and welfare of their employees and anyone else affected by their work—such as contractors, visitors, or the public. This includes providing appropriate training, maintaining safe equipment, conducting regular risk assessments, and consulting employees on safety matters. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) enforces this law, and failure to comply can result in serious penalties, including fines and prosecution. The Act forms the foundation for many other UK health and safety regulations and training standards.
