Science, engineering and evidence

HSE is a scientific and evidence based organisation that employs over 850 science and engineering experts. Our Annual Science Review provides case studies of the science, engineering work we have delivered and illustrates how HSE uses robust science and evidence to help keep people and work environments healthy and safe.

This year the theme is COVID-19: Collaboration in a time of crisis and there is a particular focus on the pandemic and the role that HSE science has played. We look at HSE’s contribution to the evolving global evidence base and the routes we have used to share that knowledge as quickly as possible. As well as highlighting scientific achievements, awards and publications, the review also focuses on the roles of some of our specialist staff.
