Your round up of what’s new on the Marches Growth Hub website.

What's new

It is important to be prepared when an HSE inspector calls at your business. They will look at how you keep your workers, and anyone who may be affected by your work, healthy and safe.

They may also give you health and safety advice or make sure you are providing suitable welfare facilities.

We have resources that will help you prepare as they explain:

• what to expect when an inspector visits your business and how inspections are carried out
• why inspections are an important part of keeping people healthy and safe at work
• how to let workers and their representatives know about information an inspector may provide during a visit

You can:

• download our leaflet about a health and safety inspector’s visit
• watch the animation about an inspector’s call on HSE's YouTube channel
