HSE is fully committed to ensuring that regulations are fair and effective for everyone. Regulations are needed to protect people at work: but to avoid unnecessary burdens on business, it is important to strike the right balance. 'Better regulation' approaches can help both to identify interventions where benefits justify costs and to get the most out of Government intervention. Striving for good regulation that is proportionate, accountable, consistent, transparent and targeted helps ensure benefits are delivered, costs kept as low as possible and perceptions are positive.
HSE participates in a Better Regulation Executive (BRE) initiative encouraging suggestions on where red tape and bureaucracy can be removed or reduced in regulations. Please submit any suggestions using the BRE Red Tape Challenge website
HSE is driving forward sensible risk management, including promoting practical help for small businesses performing a risk assessment.
