Based on relevant legislation, SHE Codes outline the STFC's approach to managing SHE hazards and the standard of controls expected. STFC SHE codes enact the implementation of the UKRI H&S Management System and its associated H&S codes, the cross correlation of STFC and UKRI codes can be found here​.
