Research and consultancy from HSE can help you solve problems and reduce workplace harm.
Our centre for asset integrity aims to supporting safe, resilient assets and infrastructure today and into the future.
Why asset integrity matters
Maintaining safe infrastructure isn’t just about meeting regulatory requirements; it’s about protecting people, improving productivity, and reducing costly downtime.
Whether you're operating complex environments like chemical plants, power stations and offshore installations, or managing conventional machinery and equipment, asset integrity is essential to performance and safety.
As industries evolve, so do the risks. The workplaces of the future will be shaped by transformative technologies, and the most successful organisations will embed safety from the very beginning.
How we can help
We help organisations manage the safety of today’s assets and infrastructure, and design future iterations, with resilience and reliability in mind.
We focus on issues which are shared industry-wide, but are not yet being sufficiently resolved, and work with you to:
- develop robust, pragmatic, and proactive approaches to understanding asset management challenges throughout their lifecycle
- carry out pre-normative testing to help you embed health and safety into the design and development of new infrastructure and technologies
- continuously improve systems to minimise risk and optimise performance
What sets us apart
As Great Britain’s health and safety regulator, we bring together:
- regulatory insight grounded in real-world application
- world-class science and engineering expertise and facilities
- over 100 years of experience in incident investigation, process safety, and major hazard risk management
- our focus on shared challenges, which are difficult to resolve
We apply this deep knowledge to help you solve complex challenges, reduce harm and build assets and infrastructure that perform safely and efficiently.
