Executive and Commission merge
The Health and Safety Commission and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) merged in April to form a single national regulatory body under the existing HSE title.
HSE chair Judith Hackitt said: "The new HSE will strengthen the importance of workplace health and safety in Great Britain. With a single regulatory body we will be able to strengthen the links between strategy and delivery. The merger will not fundamentally change the day-to-day operations but will set the tone for closer working throughout the organisation."
The TUC will continue to sit on the board of the new Executive, which will be responsible for running all aspects of the organisation, including setting the overall strategic direction, financial and performance management and prioritisation of resources.
The HSE will retain its independence, reflecting the interests of employers, employees and local authorities and is committed to maintaining its service delivery.
