Annual Science Review

HSE's Annual Science Review contains a range of case studies showing the benefits of HSE science.

The 2020 Annual Science Review focuses on how HSE's scientists, analysts and engineers use science and evidence to support healthy and safe work in Great Britain. Case study topics include:

  • Hydrogen and batteries - safely enabling low carbon technologies
  • Risk to workers of silicosis from processing artificial stone
  • Videos on safe handling of biological agents
  • Protecting British troops from biological warfare agents
  • Reducing the risk of musculoskeletal disorders   

Look out for the next Annual Science Review, 'COVID-19: Collaboration in a time of crisis', due to be launched after Easter. View previous editions in the series on our science review webpages.
