**Job summary**:
- The Health and Safety Executive exists to help prevent work-related death, injury and ill health. Our inspectors play a critical role on the frontline in the workplace, protecting people by preventing and investigating incidents and enforcing the law.
- Working across a wide geographic area, you will begin your career in a robust training programme involving a combination of field and classroom-based training culminating in a post-graduate level qualification and promotion to the career grade for an Inspector. In training you will build a technical understanding of the law, safety technology and health matters as well as learning to analyse how companies manage these issue and deal with people at every level in a wide range of organisations.
- It’s a hugely varied and rewarding opportunity that offers the scope for continuous personal and professional development, as well as the chance to make a positive impact on people’s lives. Getting the perfect match between our culture, our work and you is incredibly important for both of us.-
**Job description**:
**Key Responsibilities**

As an inspector you will be involved in a range of activities, notably inspections and investigations. Where appropriate, you will use various legal processes such as enforcement notices and prosecutions to secure health and safety compliance.
- Inspections involve proactively assessing the ability of employers to effectively manage risks to their employees and others (such as contractors or members of the public). Investigations cover accidents, dangerous occurrences, ill health and concerns about workplace conditions and your role will be to uncover what has happened and why. You will have to be prepared to tell people that there is a breach of the law (you will be given lots of training to help you identify and understand this), what action needs to be taken as a result and ensure that this action is taken.
- You will have the opportunity to work off site or outdoors at workplaces spread across the region surrounding your base office; occasionally outside of normal working hours.
- Not everyone will appreciate what you will be trying to achieve and sometimes it might be a struggle to change attitudes and convince others about what is required. Very occasionally you may encounter some hostility to your visit. Your training and the support you receive from us will give you the confidence to deal with a wide range of duty holders and difficult situations.
- The investigation of fatalities and serious accidents may mean visiting places where there is evidence of what has happened and, in some rare instances, the deceased person may still be on site. You will work with other agencies such as the Police in such circumstances as well pulling from the valuable experience and expertise of colleagues and managers. At times, you may need to speak with the bereaved families and witnesses. You will need to be able to do this in a professional, but empathetic manner, communicating effectively with people at every level in an organisation and in the public arena.
- Your aim will be to identify where there are breaches of the law and take the action required to get these corrected, and to help duty holders understand what they need to do to sustain compliance with the law. This might require you to take formal enforcement action. It might require persuasion and influencing skills. Often, it will require elements of both. You will always need to gather the right information and evidence to support your decisions. You therefore need a logical and analytical mind and good organisational skills.
- With our training and support, you may need to appear as a witness in court or at an Employment Tribunal.
- We operate a cost recovery scheme known as Fee for Intervention (FFI). Whilst you won't be involved in the collection of the fee, you will need to notify the workplace duty holder at the time of their inspection and/or investigation if that visit is going to be cost recoverable and why. You may also need to become familiar with other cost recovery regimes.
- As you might expect, this role can take you to all sorts of workplaces and conditions, and you may need to access
