Why was the hse setup?

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) was established in the UK in 1975 to promote and enforce workplace health, safety, and welfare. Its creation aimed to reduce workplace accidents, injuries, and illnesses by providing guidance, conducting inspections, and enforcing safety regulations. The HSE also plays a critical role in developing health and safety policies and raising public awareness about workplace risks. Overall, it seeks to ensure a safer working environment for all employees.
