The Health and Safety Intervention Plan 2014 / 2015 pdf icon PDF 321 KB

Purpose.

This report is an expression of the Council’s commitment to its health and safety role and responsibilities to develop a Health and Safety Delivery Team. It sets out the manner in which health & safety inspections, initiatives and activities designed to meet local needs and requirements of the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) will be delivered over the forthcoming year.

 

The HSE require a Health and Safety Intervention Plan to be submitted annually for Member approval to ensure local transparency and accountability.

 

This plan is based upon the following key priorities:

Upon approval, the plan will be effective for a period of 1 year.

Minutes:
