About Us
The Health and Safety Commission is responsible for health and safety regulation in Great Britain. The Health and Safety Executive and local government are the enforcing authorities who work in support of the Commission.
We look after health and safety in nuclear installations and mines, factories, farms, hospitals and schools, offshore gas and oil installations, the safety of the gas grid and the movement of dangerous goods and substances, railway safety, and many other aspects of the protection both of workers and the public. Local authorities are responsible to HSC for enforcement in offices, shops and other parts of the services sector.
The HSC is sponsored by the Department of Work and Pensions and is ultimately accountable to Parliamentary Under Secretary (for Work and Pensions) (Lords) Lord Hunt of Kings Heath OBE.
