Recommendations featured

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

With the ink still drying on the pages of the Report on the Triennial Review of the HSE, it was unsurprisingly a hot topic at the Arco sponsored Health and Safety 2014: Improving Workplace Health, Safety and Welfare forum which took place in London at the end of January.

One of the triennial review’s suggestions was that there may be opportunities for commercial collaborations to develop in the delivery and sharing of advice and guidance.

In Arco’s submission of evidence it recommended that outside of its core business of regulation and enforcement, there is a strong case for allowing the HSE to work more closely with private and voluntary organisations. Speaking at the event Thomas Martin, Arco’s joint managing director said: “The Review recognised some of the key recommendations we made in our submission, namely that there is potential for the HSE to be more commercial in its outlook and delivery and to increase the pace of its work by developing partnerships with organisations like Arco. With our expertise in making work a safer place, we are well placed to work with the HSE in the delivery of awareness-raising campaigns, safety research, consultancy or inspections.”
