Health and Safety Executive

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE), reporting to the Health and Safety Commission, is non-departmental public body of the Government of the United Kingdom responsible for the regulation of risks to health and safety in the UK. It was created as a result of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, and had absorbed earlier regulatory bodies such as the Factory Inspectorate and the Railway Inspectorate; the Railway Inspectorate was transferred to the Office of Rail Regulation in April 2006. The HSE is funded by the Department for Work and Pensions. As part of its work HSE investigates industrial accidents, such as the high profile explosion and fire at Buncefield in 2005.
