The HSE’s Basingstoke office was visited by environmental health officers after a spate of staff illnesses.
The agency is seeking to “streamline” its internal health and safety regime after being ordered to cut its £330 million budget by a third by 2015. It has eight regional health and safety committees overseen by 13 site safety coordinators, who report to the national Corporate Health and Safety Committee. There is also a corporate health and safety advisers team and mandatory safety training.
Sally Thompson, of the free market think tank the Adam Smith Institute, said: “We need a good dose of common sense in this area — if HSE can’t comply with the rules then entrepreneurs and small businesses have no chance.”
A HSE spokesman said: “HSE consistently has a very low level of reportable incidents, which already puts it in the very best class of performers when compared with similar organisations.
