Local authority circulars
HELA Local Authority Circulars (LACs) and PETroleum Enforcement Liaison circulars (PETELS) provide local authority (LA) health and safety enforcement officers with advice and guidance on enforcement management and technical matters. HELA circulars are issued in the interests of achieving consistent standards in health and safety enforcement between LAs, and between LAs and the Health and Safety Executive.
