Operational guidance
This category makes available the current internal instructions and guidance that HSE uses to carry out its core operational work of inspecting, investigating, permissioning and enforcing.
The material is presented here essentially in the same way as it is made available to HSE staff but with some additional explanation for an external audience.
HSE tries to keep its internal instructions and guidance under regular review but it is a big task. Not all the material presented here is completely up to date but it is all useful. HSE staff understand the context in which they are working and are able to interpret appropriately current material that would benefit from some revision.
Not all of HSE's internal instructions and guidance are open documents. All the fully open material is available on this site.
