Provision of Role Players for HSE Legal Proceedings Training and for HSE Trainee Health and Safety Inspector Recruitment Assessment Events

Up to 66 role player days are required between June 2019 and July 2020. The number of days and the dates listed below could be subject to change. Prior to each event role players will be sent information on the role they will be expected to play. On the day of the event role players would be expected to arrive between 8.15am-8.30am for a briefing session on the role they will be playing and they will be able to ask any questions they may have. They then undertake the assigned role while the HSE inspector being assessed interviews them and records their findings, firstly in their notebook and secondly in a written statement. The actual time spent playing the role is approximately 1 hour per candidate and each role player will be expected to play the same role for up to 3 candidates each day. There is also a debriefing session at the end of the day. The time spent actually role playing is approximately 3 to 4 hours per day but role players are required to be available for the whole day as there are gaps between candidates to allow for scoring.
