This course explores how risk assessments are examined by HSE inspectors and how weaknesses can lead to uncontrolled risks and potential enforcement action. It highlights common pitfalls in risk assessment and how regulatory expectations are applied in practice.

Covering key concepts such as legal requirements, inspector decision-making and typical errors, delegates will gain practical insight to improve their risk assessment approach, strengthen controls and manage risks more effectively to maintain compliance and avoid enforcement action.

Understanding HSE’s enforcement approach is essential for organisations to manage regulatory risk and avoid formal action such as improvement or prohibition notices.

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.

Improving electrical safety management is critical in high hazard environments where failures can lead to serious injury, fatalities and significant asset damage.

Delegates will gain practical knowledge of electrical safety principles, relevant legislation and common high-risk issues, enabling them to identify hazards, assess the effectiveness of controls and apply appropriate measures to manage electrical risks and support safe, compliant operations.
