HSE charges fees for some of the regulatory services it provides, ensuring those creating risks are paying for the regulation of that risk.
You can view all HSE’s fees and charges, rates and guidance on the HSE website.
HSE has reviewed the hourly rates it charges for full cost recovery regimes and increased those rates from 1 April 2026. These increases apply to all of HSE’s main cost recovery regimes including fee for intervention (FFI), COMAH and offshore safety.
The rates have been set to ensure full cost recovery for the relevant regulatory activity, in line with government policy and the principles which can be found at GOV.UK: Managing Public Money.
The increases have been approved by our minister, Sir Stephen Timms MP.
The new rates do not apply to interventions that span 1 April 2026.
