The Health and Safety Executive is currently consulting on its new strategy The Health and Safety of Great Britain Be Part of the Solution'. Based around a number of key themes (including leadership, workforce involvement, SMEs, health, major hazards etc), the strategy is more of a plan for the UK health and safety system as a whole rather than just a strategy for the HSE.rnThe key focus is less about which issues HSE should concentrate on and more about how HSE - and all other contributors to better health and safety at work - can work more closely together. It is about linking up all the key bits of the H&S 'system' - employers and employees (and their representative bodies); the self-employed; government; professional bodies; and voluntary and third sector organisations - to help raise standards of health and safety management, in order to make change happen. (RoSPA has been arguing for this broader approach for over ten years!).
