<p /> <p>HSE targets industry sectors for proactive inspection according to the framework
for health and safety set out in the 2011 Coalition Government publication ‘Good health
and safety, good for everyone’, which can be found on-line at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/good-health-and-safety-good-for-everyone"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/good-health-and-safety-good-for-everyone</a>.</p><p>HSE
employs a broad range of interventions to bring about improvements in occupational
safety and health within industry sectors. Direct interventions include inspection,
investigation and safety case assessment in major hazard sectors. Indirect interventions
include the use of information and campaigns, guidance and engagement with intermediaries
to raise awareness of duties, risks and to promote compliance across all workplaces
in a sector.</p><p>HSE’s choice of intervention strategy for any particular sector
takes into account a combination of factors including the actual level of risk within
the sector, the industry's injury and ill-health record, its structure and commitment
to improving occupational safety and health, and the effectiveness and efficiency
of different types of intervention.</p><p> </p>
