Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps she has taken to reduce work-related injuries in Romford constituency.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is the workplace regulator for Great Britain and their mission, set out in a 10-year strategy, is to protect people and places, which includes reducing work related injury.

HSE undertakes a range of activities to reduce work related injury, which includes conducting health and safety inspections of various businesses across a range of sectors; investigating health and safety concerns; investigating work related incidents; and taking enforcement action where non-compliance with health and safety legislation is found to improve standards.

HSE cannot specify what steps are taken to reduce work-related injuries in the Romford constituency as the same principals of inspection and investigation described apply across the country, not just in specific regions.
