Policies
The Council is required by law to have a policy for managing health and safety.
The Council’s Health and Safety Policy, Roles and Responsibilities document sets out our general approach to health and safety. It explains how the Council, as an employer, will manage health and safety.
The policy describes our commitment and aims to managing health and safety. The policy is signed by both the Leader of the Council and The Chief Executive. It outlines the responsibilities of everyone from the Cabinet to Chief Officers, managers, and individual employees.
The other specific health and safety policies, procedures and guidance documents contained within this section form the basis of our arrangements and link back to the Health and Safety Policy – Roles and Responsibilities document.
