From next month onwards, the Health & Safety Executive is to put many of its publications on its website. This will include its full range of guidance and approved codes of practice.  It has recently published its current strategy. This makes note of the fact that Britain has one of the best health & safety records in the world but that there has been little improvement in reducing injuries and illness caused by work over the last 5 years. The strategy is to get this figure down, gain widespread commitment to what "real health and safety is about", motivate those in the health and safety system to maximise their contribution and hold those who fail in their health and safety duties to account.
