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. On the other hand, if safety procedures are being followed effectively from the start then these inspections will be irregular as the employer is trusted to keep employees safe. More so, if the legislation has been followed appropriately then the business will be able to work independently as they are responsible enough to follow laboratory procedures
