The HSE Inspector wants to ask me questions about a recent 'near miss' incident. What should I do?

HSE inspectors have the power to:

• enter premises
• inspect and investigate
• take measurements, samples and photographs
• require an area or machine to be left undisturbed
• seize, render harmless or destroy dangerous items
• obtain information and take statements.

You should therefore co-operate with the Inspector and provide any relevant information to him or her.
