HSE inspector's guide courses

Our training courses have been designed by experienced regulators and industry specialists to help organisations understand regulatory expectations, strengthen risk management and maintain safe, compliant operations.

The HSE inspectors' guide series provides a practical understanding of what our inspectors are looking for based on investigation and enforcement experiences. Upcoming dates include:

Inspectors Guide 2

Delegates will gain practical understanding of how and why enforcement decisions are made, the legal basis for notices and the factors influencing inspector judgement, enabling them to respond effectively, engage confidently with regulators and implement measures to maintain compliance and minimise enforcement risk.
