Preparing for an HSE inspection goes far beyond having policies on file. Inspectors will assess how health and safety is managed in practice, how risks are controlled, and whether your people understand and follow the right procedures.In this free 60-minute webinar, WorkNest’s Health & Safety experts, Nick Wilson, Director of Health and Safety Services and former HSE Inspector, and Jeff Watkins, Head of Fire Safety, will explore the key trends in 2026, explain what good looks like from an inspector’s perspective and where enforcement action most often starts.
They’ll share practical guidance to help you identify gaps before an inspector does, strengthen day-to-day compliance, and reduce the risk of accidents, claims and prosecution.
