answer text <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>
