https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/good-health-and-safety-good-for-everyone<\/a>.<\/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>
HSE\u2019s 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>

Personal Independence Payment is designed to assess people as individuals and ensure that decisions on entitlement, award lengths and timing of reviews are appropriate and evidence-based. We have been clear that longer term awards will be made in cases where the claimant's needs are expected to remain relatively stable or change slowly. On-going awards will be made in some cases where significant change in the claimant's needs is very unlikely.<\/p>
<\/p>
All awards, regardless of duration, will be reviewed periodically to ensure that the individual continues to receive the correct amount of benefit. Where we have sufficient evidence to do so, we will conduct a paper based assessment without the need for the claimant to attend a face to face assessment.<\/p>"}
