Arising from a report of the Health and Safety Officer, the Community Policy Development Group had recommended that the Cabinet note that the Health and Safety Policy was approved by the JNCC on 07 December 2017, following review by the Health and Safety Committee and Unison.
The Cabinet Member for the Working Environment and Support Services outlined the contents of the report stating that the policy was reviewed annually and that the Council was committed to ensuring high standards of health, safety and welfare of its officers and of the public. She highlighted the various responsibilities of officers (to reflect the updated structure) within the policy along with arrangements, risk assessments and the safe use of plant and equipment.
Consideration was given to the need for the policy to be sensible and workable.
RESOLVED that the recommendation of the Community Policy Development Group be noted.
(Proposed by Cllr Mrs M E Squires and seconded by Cllr C R Slade).
