The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is a public body responsible for the encouragement, regulation and enforcement of workplace health, safety and welfare in Great Britain. It has additionally adopted a research role into occupational risks. It is a non-departmental public body with its headquarters in Bootle, England. The HSE was created by the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, and has since absorbed earlier regulatory bodies such as the Factory Inspectorate and the Railway Inspectorate though the Railway Inspectorate was transferred to the Office of Rail and Road in April 2006. The HSE is sponsored by the Department for Work and Pensions. As part of its work, HSE investigates industrial accidents, small and large, including major incidents such as the explosion and fire at Buncefield in 2005. Though it formerly reported to the Health and Safety Commission, on 1 April 2008, the two bodies merged. It does not operate in Northern Ireland, where the Health and Safety Executive for Northern Ireland carries out such duties.
