HSE publishes business plan

Priorities for improving workplace health and safety in 2018/19 include;

• Sustain momentum on our Helping Great Britain work well strategy, focusing on the highest-risk sectors and building on the stakeholder engagement and commitments made to widen the reach of the campaign to new audiences,

• Deliver the next phase of the Health and Work programme, with its focus on reducing levels of occupational lung disease (OLD), musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and work-related stress,

• Establish a multi-year plan that brings together and provides focus for activities and interventions enabling proportionate management of health and safety within small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs),

• We will continue to develop our shared research programme by increasing the number of contributing partner organisations and by jointly agreeing new proposals that improve the evidence base for interventions which catalyse improvements in health and safety performance.
