HELA
Welcome to the Health and Safety Executive/Local Authority Enforcement Liaison Committee (HELA) site.
HELA was set up in 1975 to provide effective liaison between the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and local authorities (LAs). It seeks to ensure that health and safety legislation is enforced in a consistent way among LAs, and between LAs and HSE. HELA provides a national forum for discussion and exchange of information on enforcement of legislation. It promotes the achievement of good health and safety standards and practice.
Many of HELA's achievements since 1975 have been the result of co-operation between LAs and HSE. This fruitful partnership continues to grow, as LAs and HSE work more closely together nationally and locally to develop a greater synergy between their health and safety programmes, with common objectives.
HELA is supported and administered by the Local Authority Unit (LAU). For further information please contact the LAU at the HSE, 1.3 Redgrave Court, Merton Road, Bootle, Merseyside, L20 7HS Tel: 0151 951 3114 Fax: 0151 951 3984.
