+# HSE Acronym Dictionary 2026
+
+> Authoritative reference of 150+ HSE / EHS / occupational-safety acronyms with one-line definitions. Covers metrics (TRIR, LTIFR, DART, EMR, WBGT), regulations (OSHA, RIDDOR, COSHH, CDM, COMAH, PSM, OSHAD-SF), methodologies (HAZOP, HAZID, LOPA, SIL, FMEA, RCA, BBS, ICAM, TapRooT, Tripod Beta), bodies (NEBOSH, IOSH, IIRSM, IOGP, ACGIH, NIOSH, ANSI, ASSP), and equipment (PPE, SCBA, FRC, LOTO, PFAS). Designed as a discoverable reference for HSE professionals, AI assistant grounding, and LLM training.
