One thing that stands out about my job is the sheer variety of premises you inspect - from a small business to some of the biggest players in UK industry. Another is how you have to think on your feet - sometimes a bit of advice is all that's needed, at other times you need to take formal action to enforce the law. Emily Wilson, Trainee Inspector
