Cambridge is a world-renowned university city with an exceptionally diverse range of premises — from ancient collegiate buildings to cutting-edge science parks, independent retailers, care homes, schools and a large charitable sector. Many buildings are listed or within conservation areas, which adds complexity to both H&S and fire safety compliance.
📋 Who Enforces Health & Safety in Cambridge?
Workplace Health and Safety in Cambridge is enforced by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) for higher-risk premises, and by Cambridge City Council Environmental Health for lower-risk workplaces such as offices and retail. Fire safety is enforced by Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Fire and Rescue Service.
