Report of the Chief Officer - People and Policy.  Report and appendices published on 29.02.24. 

The Health and Safety Consultant addressed the Committee to introduce the draft Health and Safety policies which had been renewed following the Health and Safety Corporate Review.  The comments made at JCC with regard to the lack of inclusion in the local health and safety representative in terms of their roles and responsibilities for the strategy had now been addressed within the document for consideration by the Committee. 

It was noted that there was a minor typographical error contained within the Health and Safety Strategy 2024 – 2026, 4.0 Key Roles and Responsibilities, Health and Safety Representatives/Trade Union Representatives, with the word “representative” to be inserted after the words “Trade Union”. 

The Chair thanked the Health and Safety Consultant for their substantial work in producing the revised policies and for providing a detailed overview of them for the Committee. 

It was proposed by Councillor Paul Newton, seconded by Councillor Jason Wood, and unanimously resolved as follows:

Resolved: -

That, subject to the amendment to the minor typographical error contained within the Health and Safety Strategy 2024 – 2026, 4.0 Key Roles and Responsibilities, Health and Safety Representatives/Trade Union Representatives, the Health and Safety policies be approved.
