6. Regulatory Bodies
A number of regulatory bodies have been set up to help Police employers and facilities so that they adhere to appropriate legislation. The health and safety commission is in charge of health and safety regulation in the UK. The Health and Safety Executive and local authorities are responsible for enforcing these regulations. Staff from these organisations will inspect facilities and speak to staff to ensure the facility is being run appropriately. If the facility is not being run in accordance with legislation, it will be given actions to address within a set time period, or the facility may even be closed down until it is able to show that it meets health and safety guidelines
