Workplace Compliance & Advice
The Workplace Compliance & Advice Division concentrates its resources on those sectors and activities where the risks of fatality, injury or ill health are highest and where employer awareness and commitment is weakest. This is achieved through delivery of programmes of nationwide inspections, provision of guidance, issuing of advice and enforcement of health and safety legislation.
Prevention Services
The Prevention Services Division works on the factors that motivate the Authority’s key target groups of employers and employees to prevent accidents and ill health at work. This is achieved through the collection and analysis of data, the development of legislative proposals, the promotion of workplace health and safety, the implementation of health and safety initiatives in both workplaces and the education system and the provision of information and guidance to employers and employees.
Chemical Business Services
The remit of the Chemicals Business Services Division is to continue to provide leadership on safe chemicals management nationally and in Europe. This Division focuses on national initiatives to support the chemical sector in meeting the goal of safe and sustainable chemical use. The Division also meets its functions as Competent Authority, as Designated National Authority under the Rotterdam Regulation and as a legislative lead in all areas of chemical manufacture, import, export, sale and use.
Corporate Services
The Corporate Services Division seeks to ensure that there is a high standard of corporate governance within the Authority, and that the Authority’s systems in the areas of human resources, communications, finance, procurement and information provision are robust and provide value to the work of the customer-facing divisions.
