HSE’s wider international role

ILO

The International Labour Organization (ILO) is the tripartite UN agency that brings together governments, employers and workers of its member states in common action to promote decent work throughout the world.

HSE leads on liaison with the ILO regarding matters of occupational safety and health, such as proposals for ILO Conventions and Recommendations, and providing feedback on the UK position on existing ILO Conventions and other instruments.

IALI

The International Association of Labour Inspection (IALI) is the global professional association for labour inspection. The UK is a member of IALI, represented by a senoir offical from HSE. The main aims of IALI are:

  • To promote the professionalism of its members on all aspects of labour inspection, so as to enhance their impact and effectiveness;
  • To exchange ideas and experience about how best to promote compliance with labour law and good practice;
  • To provide information to its members about professional issues;
  • To promote closer collaboration between its members.
