The Technical Support Team is part of the Major Hazards Group (MHG) in the Science Division of HSE. The MHG has several teams of scientists and engineers in areas including fire and explosions, hazardous materials, mechanical engineering, and materials science.

The team supports the group and the wider HSE in a range of ways including building test equipment for research projects and incident investigations, and collecting and managing evidence from incident sites. This makes the job varied and interesting.
