About Health & Safety News

Health & Safety News is an independent news publication covering health and safety legislation, workplace accident statistics, training developments, and regulatory guidance for businesses across the United Kingdom and Ireland.

We are published by Abertay International Training Ltd, one of the UK and Ireland's leading providers of health and safety trainer qualifications. Our editorial team operates independently of the commercial training business, and our editorial decisions are not influenced by commercial considerations.

Our Editorial Standards

We are committed to accuracy, fairness, and transparency in all our reporting. All factual claims are sourced from authoritative primary sources, including the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), the Health and Safety Authority (HSA), peer-reviewed research, and official government publications. We do not publish press releases without independent verification of the claims they contain.

Where we make errors, we correct them promptly and transparently. Corrections are noted at the foot of the relevant article with the date and nature of the correction.

Our Use of AI

Some articles on this site are researched and drafted with the assistance of AI writing tools. All AI-assisted content is reviewed, edited, and approved by a human editor before publication. We do not publish AI-generated content without human oversight.
