HSE's Annual Science Review 2021
HSE has published this year's review, 'COVID-19: Collaboration
in a time of crisis'.
Watch HSE's seminar on the 2021 Annual Science Review 'COVID-19: hear
some of our scientists and engineers introduce the work they do to
support HSE, wider government and industry in keeping people and
work environments healthy and safe. This includes: work by our PPE
(Personal Protective Equipment) Technical Team in support of the
COVID-19 pandemic response; work enabling the safe introduction of
'Net Zero' energy technologies which supports the UK target to
achieve net zero emissions; and the evidence supporting an
award winning HSE campaign that reduced the risk of Legionnaires'
disease outbreaks.

Workplace Health Expert Committee. WHEC Seminar: Evaluating
interventions in work-related ill health and disease
The prevention of disease and ill health caused by adverse
factors at work will often require interventions to reduce the
level of exposure to harm. This WHEC seminar outlines intervention
principles where the circumstances of ill health are complex and
the result of multiple possible environmental factors in and
outside work. It discusses what could have happened if the
interventions were not in place
For more information see
Evaluating interventions in work-related ill health and disease.
