HSE contractor compliance checks
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) publishes enforcement notices and prosecution outcomes for workplaces across Great Britain. That data is a vital signal of contractor safety performance — but it’s published by notice, not by company. We match it to Companies House so you can see a contractor’s HSE history in one place.
What HSE data we use
We ingest the HSE’s public enforcement dataset from resources.hse.gov.uk/notices. It includes improvement notices (breaches that must be put right), prohibition notices (activities that must stop until remedied), and prosecution outcomes. Each notice has a reference, type, dates, regulation breached, and a short description. We link these to UK companies using our matching pipeline so that when you run a contractor check, you see every relevant notice for that company.
Why it matters for procurement
Pre-qualifying contractors often requires evidence that they manage health and safety properly. A history of serious or repeated HSE enforcement can indicate higher risk. By surfacing that history in a single report alongside company status and directors, we help you make consistent, defensible decisions without manually searching multiple government sites. Our About page explains how we match notices to companies and what we show in each report.
Coverage and licensing
HSE enforcement data covers England, Scotland, and Wales. It is published under the Open Government Licence v3.0. ContractorCheck is not affiliated with or endorsed by the HSE; we use the data to power our risk reports and supplier monitoring.
