About
HSL was originally set up to minimise risks to people's health and safety at work. Today, with a century's experience, investment and growth under our belt, the scope of our work is unparalleled - and ever-widening. So, as well as continuing to support HSE, we now work with a wide range of other public and private-sector organisations, often conducting detailed, bespoke research and development work on their behalf.
- Controlling Hazards
- Improving Health
- Understanding Human Factors
Our organisation brings together some of the most informed, level-headed thinkers in the country; from microbiologists and explosives experts to occupational psychologists and specialist photographers - over 100 with PhDs, and a similar number again with MScs. You won't find this kind of facility anywhere else - in Derbyshire, in Britain or throughout Europe.
It's that unique level of expertise and breadth of coverage which has earned us our international reputation as a centre of excellence for health and safety research and incident investigations.
