Failing an HSE inspection can cost thousands in fines—and worse, put lives at risk. Yet many businesses make the same avoidable mistakes. Here are the top 5 HSE compliance errors and how you can stay on the right side of safety laws with the help of SafetyGenius.com.
1. Inadequate Employee Training
Too many businesses offer generic safety training that doesn’t align with actual job duties. HSE requires training to be specific, effective, and up-to-date.
Fix: Use SafetyGenius’s custom training modules that match your team’s tasks and risk profile.
2. Poor Recordkeeping
Missing injury logs, outdated hazard assessments, or incomplete incident reports? These are red flags for HSE.
Fix: Our digital safety management system keeps your records compliant and audit-ready.
3. Ignoring Near-Misses
Just because no one was hurt doesn’t mean it’s not a problem. HSE expects employers to investigate near-miss incidents seriously.
Fix: Use our near-miss reporting tools and incident investigation templates.
4. Outdated Safety Plans
What worked five years ago might not cut it today. Regulations change—and so do workplace hazards.
Fix: We review and refresh your safety protocols quarterly to keep you aligned with current regulations.
5. Lack of Safety Culture
Compliance shouldn’t be top-down. HSE values employee involvement in safety planning.
Fix: We offer employee engagement strategies that make safety everyone’s business.
