What is the difference between HSE, HSQE, HSEQ and HSSE?

12 March, 2022

Unless you are working as a HSE, HSQE, HSEQ and HSSE Manager, you may have doubts about the difference between the acronyms.

The acronyms stand for

  • HSE – health, safety and environment
  • HSQE – Health, safety, quality and environment
  • HSEQ – Health, safety, environment and quality
  • HSSE – health, safety, security and environment


As you can see, the only difference is that HSE is not including quality and HSSE is including security instead of quality.

No matter which acronym you use in your organization, you need a Safety Management System to make sure that your activities do not cause harm to anyone.
