Horizon scanning
Horizon scanning is the process by which HSE ensures 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 was outlined in the HSE board paper HSE/04/027.
The Horizon Scanning website has been created to make the outputs of that process publicly available. The information is made available so those who are either involved in these developments and changes, or could be affected by them, are made aware of HSE's work in these areas. By making this process open to public scrutiny and comment, we aim to draw on the knowledge, experience and ideas of people outside HSE and make our strategic planning more transparent and comprehensive.
