These regulatory interventions have been put in place so that the management of health and safety risks do improve, they want to influence people’s knowledge so that they’re encourage to change their behaviour on sensible health and safety. They will regularly intend on investigating and inspecting various settings so that they are aware about Government laws in relation to health and safety. HSE inspectors will regularly visit a laboratory setting depending on its risk assessment level, so if it has a high risk level then they will be visited regularly to ensure that changes are being made and that things are improving.
