The HBF Health and Safety Committee (HSC) is a membership group committed to driving further improvement in the health and safety performance of the home building sector.

It's members meet every quarter to discuss industry guidance documentation in development, the progress of subgroups formed to oversee arising issues, and relevant industry issues or best practice.

The committee maintains close links with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), with a representative sitting on the committee.
