Abstract This study undertakes a fundamental review of the guidance offered by the HSE, particularly with regard to the needs of small firms. It involved a review of past research, exploratory discussions with employers and a large postal survey. Employers preferences for the structure of HSE publications, communication and publicity methods were identified. An analysis of HSE's current suite of publications was combined with an evaluation of the HSE's website and e-commerce activities, allowing the highlighting of gaps in specific guidance in a number of sectors and activities.
