Report of Managing Director

The Managing Director submitted a report (previously circulated) updating Members on the Authority’s performance in relation to health and safety for the financial year 2017/18, which, overall showed an improvement on the previous year.

It was reported that health and safety continued to be a high priority for the Authority and the focus had again been to embed the health and safety management system and improve health and safety compliance.

A full review of the Corporate Health and Safety Policy had also been undertaken, which reflected the commitment of elected Members and senior management to health and safety within the organisation and that the Council’s General Statement of Intent poster had also been updated and was displayed at various locations throughout the organisation.

RESOLVED – (a)  That the 2017/18 achievements and health and safety performance statistics be noted.

(b)  That the health and safety objectives for 2018/19 be noted.
