The Health and Safety Commission (HSC) and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) have merged to form a single national regulatory body.
Originally, the two were established as separate, non-departmental bodies with working practices and delegated powers established in such a way as to distance the HSC from the day-to-day workings of the HSE. However, following extensive consultation and through the process determined by the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006, the decision was taken to merge the two bodies in order to provide greater clarity and consistency in promoting better health and safety at work, whilst maintaining public accountability. The merged body will be called the HSE.
