New HSE strategy

HSE chair Judith Hackitt told the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management (IIRSM) House of Lords Luncheon last month that, while it was not the time for her to reveal all about the HSE’s new strategy, she gave notice that its launch and more formal stakeholder engagement will begin in December and go on into 2016.

The focus of the strategy will include “being clear about our respective roles and responsibilities, greater collective effort to address work related ill health and ensuring that new and emerging risks are identified and managed in a way that keeps people safe but also enables business to innovate and grow,” she said.
