HSE is responsible for the regulation of biocides, pesticides, detergents and chemicals through our Chemicals Regulation Division (CRD). We deliver Competent Authority functions within EU legislation where HSE is the appointed authority for the UK.
As part of this role, we deliver training to dutyholders to help them comply with legislation so that they can make robust regulatory decisions and prevent the adverse effects of chemicals on people and the environment. You can see a list of recently delivered and upcoming events on this page.
