HSE's mission is to prevent death, injury and ill-health in Great
Britain's workplaces. Ensuring that guidance is available and accessible in a
variety of formats is central to achieving this objective.

the law, their health and safety rights, and their responsibilities. It is
not designed for health and safety professionals, consultants or those looking
for detailed information on health and safety law.
Created in partnership with the Stationery Office (TSO), the app is
primarily for small businesses or those who are new to health and safety to
help them better understand the law and what is required to protect
