answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/03/2021 answer text <p>HSE’s evidence is that more than 90% of the businesses checked have the right precautions in place or are willing to make necessary changes promptly and without the need for formal enforcement action. HSE inspectors do not conclude an intervention until they are confident a business has the right controls in place. HSE will continue to take enforcement action where appropriate, but the best use of its time and resource to ensure employers take the right action promptly is often to educate, persuade or require matters to be put right immediately.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>In response to PQ 21/165426</strong>, the information is provided in the table below:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Month / Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Concerns dealt with by Visiting / Regulatory Contact Officers</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Concerns dealt with by Inspectors</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>March 2020</strong></p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p>-</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>April 2020</strong></p></td><td><p>203</p></td><td><p>1510</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>May 2020</strong></p></td><td><p>148</p></td><td><p>835</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>June 2020</strong></p></td><td><p>63</p></td><td><p>482</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>July 2020</strong></p></td><td><p>55</p></td><td><p>339</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>August 2020</strong></p></td><td><p>39</p></td><td><p>258</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>September 2020</strong></p></td><td><p>74</p></td><td><p>330</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>October 2020</strong></p></td><td><p>86</p></td><td><p>396</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>November 2020</strong></p></td><td><p>94</p></td><td><p>387</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>December 2020</strong></p></td><td><p>102</p></td><td><p>134</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>January 2021</strong></p></td><td><p>154</p></td><td><p>271</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>February 2021</strong></p></td><td><p>74</p></td><td><p>59</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>March 2021</strong></p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p>6</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Totals</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>1096</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>5,007</strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>Notes:</p><p>i.
