Author : Gordon Macdonald, Director of Hazardous Installations – HSE
30 November 2009
At the start of 2009 the HSE launched a new strategy for health and safety in the UK. This strategy was widely consulted on and was generally welcomed. In particular it was accepted that it was a strategy for all players in the health and safety system and not just for HSE.
HSE Be part of the solution: strategy for health and safety one year on
Issues such as leadership, competence and workforce involvement were identified as some of the areas where action will deliver real improvements across all sectors of the economy. So what has happened since the launch? You will hear from Gordon MacDonald, HSE's Director of Hazardous Installations, how industry has responded, what has been achieved and what more is expected from stakeholders. You will also hear how HSE has been shaping its response to the challenges laid down in the strategy. Gordon will also place these issues in the context of the current pressures of the economic cycle, the prospects of recovery and some of the health and safety implications of the shift to a low carbon economy.
