§ Mr. WrayTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what guidance there is to(a) prevent and (b) deal with industrial accidents; and if she will make a statement. [100472]
§ Mr. Nicholas BrownI have been asked to reply.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is responsible for providing information and advice about health and safety at work.
HSE produces a very wide range of publications to reduce risks and protect people including guidance on the law, Approved Codes of Practice, leaflets, information sheets and booklets on the prevention of accidents, managing specific risks and hazards, and the management of occupational health and safety.
Last year, HSE produced over 300 new publications, sold nearly 1 million books and issued over 6 million free leaflets.
