<p>Appointments to the board of the Health and Safety Executive are made by the Secretary
of State for Work and Pensions, in accordance with Schedule 2 of the Health and Safety
at Work etc Act 1974, with the exception of the member representing the Office for
Nuclear Regulation, who is appointed by ONR. In making the appointments, the legislation
requires the Secretary of State to consult such organisations as are considered appropriate.
This will vary depending on the type of appointment being made, but may include employer
and employee representative organisations, such as trades unions, local authorities,
or the devolved administrations. Consultation takes place at the point at which the
board vacancies are advertised.</p>
