There are numerous government organisations including the HSE who have
responsibility for that.


Do the HSE have man in each workplace?


Irrelevant. It is the HSE who have the responsibility in terms of
enforcement.


So who gets the manager to put the matter right? In my experience it's the
union H&S rep who has been trained by the union and who both knows the
possible safety problems of his workplace and has contacts who can advise him
about specifics and give expert support without bringing the company into
conflict with the law.
