HSE set to recover costs for enforcement at £133 per hour.

 
 

The current HSE consultation for extending cost recovery identifies the estimated average cost of enforcement as follows:

HSE inspection which results in a letter £750
HSE inspection which results in an Improvement or Prohibition notice £1500
HSE investigation ranging from £750 to tens of thousands of pounds.

These estimates are based on HSE staff time at £133 per hour.
