Horizon scanning and other futures techniques are used by HSE to ensure that it is aware of developments, trends and changes in the medium to long-term future that could have an impact on its ability to act as an effective and efficient promoter and regulator of health and safety in Britain.
The overall process of horizon scanning was outlined in the HSE board paper HSE/04/027.
