HSE: health, safety and environment on a site
HSE stands for health, safety and environment on an industrial site. It is the largest part of the catalogue: 140 modules are devoted to it. On a site the three are steered together: the same procedure protects the operator, the installation and the neighbourhood.
Three letters, three responsibilities
Health covers occupational health, safety covers accident risk, environment covers emissions and nuisance. On a site the three hold together: the same procedure protects the operator, the installation and the neighbourhood. The catalogue devotes 140 modules to this field, making it the largest by volume.
