It's my first time commemorating the day both as HSE's Chief Executive and personally, I can't help but think of it in the context of these extraordinary times. Before I started at HSE, I wasn't that aware of the day. But clearly, it's significance for us, as the national workplace health and safety regulator, really can't be overstated. The opportunity to take a minute together (even virtually), to remember those who've died at or because of work is a clear reminder of why the Health and Safety Executive exists. I believe firmly in our mission – that no-one should get ill, be injured or die because of work. And as I write this, I'm thinking about the key workers who are risking their own health and wellbeing during the coronavirus outbreak. I want to recognise them and their efforts which are so instrumental to the national effort. The extra levels of risk they're now exposed to at work are in some cases unavoidable but let me be clear that all risk must be managed appropriately. View the message in full | | | | |
