This HSE improvement notice example is free to use, editable and makes documenting and sharing improvement notices simple, secure and easy.

Improvement notices are issued to contractors when a health and safety law is being broken or when the activity of that contractor poses a risk to people.

The improvement notices is issued to enable the contractor to rectify or correct their failure or mistake. The document will declare the trigger incident (what triggered the improvement notices), state the required actions to rectify the situation and give you a period of time to get those actions completed.

An improvement notice is a serious document and should be treated with seriousness and care. If third party inspectors or auditors find that you have indeed broken a health and safety law - and that you have not actioned the improvement notice, you may be prosecuted.

**If you think that the notice you have been issued is unfair, you can appeal it.**
