HSC/E are committed to protecting the health and safety at work of all people in Britain. We embrace the diversity of Britain’s workforce and appreciate the roles we can play in eliminating discrimination and promoting equality of opportunity. Our vision for health and safety is to gain recognition of health and safety as a cornerstone of a civilised society, and with that achieve a record of workplace health and safety that leads the world. This represents a considerable challenge and is one that we are keen to take up.
