The types of enforcement action referred to in the tables are defined below:
Improvement notices require employers to take remedial action on specific breaches of the law, within a specified time limit;
Prohibition notices are issued in cases where the inspector believes that a work activity involves or will involve a risk of serious personal injury. Prohibition notices can take two forms:
- immediate prohibition notices which stop a work activity immediately, until a risk is dealt with; and
- deferred prohibition notices which stop a work activity within a specified time limit, for example because the risk of injury does not require immediate action to control it, or where it would be unwise to interrupt a process in mid-cycle.

Crown bodies are bound by the requirements of health and safety legislation, but are not subject to statutory enforcement notices or prosecution (Crown immunity). Non-statutory procedures are in place for the issue of Crown improvement and prohibition notices, and for the censure of Crown bodies in circumstances in which a prosecution would otherwise have been brought.
Crown improvement notices and Crown prohibition notices require the same action from Crown employers as do improvement and prohibition notices issued to other employers.
A Crown censure is the formal recording of a decision by HSE that, but for Crown immunity, the evidence of a Crown body’s failure to comply with health and safety law would have been sufficient to provide a realistic prospect of conviction in the courts, and prosecution would have been in the public interest. This is in line with the HSC Enforcement Policy Statement and the Code for Crown Prosecutors.
