Minutes:

The Executive Director Core Services submitted, for information, a report, which had been considered by Cabinet on the 5th September, 2018 presenting issues raised within the 2017/18 health and Safety report and providing a comprehensive overview of health and safety performance within the Authority.

 

The Executive Director particularly commented on the excellent work and success of the Team given the limited number of officers involved in the Service.

 

Mr S Dobby, Head of Corporate Health, Safety and Emergency Resilience reported that there had been fewer accidents over the year which compared favourably to national data.  The majority of audits had shown a satisfactory level o compliance with the Council’s Governance arrangements for health and Safety and the FIDDOR reportable accident performance, when compared to national statistics, remained favourable.  Opportunities for further improvement, however, had been identified and an action plan, had been prepared which outlined the action to be taken.

 

The Cabinet had noted the Annual Report  and had supported the continuous efforts to improve upon performance in this area.

 

RESOLVED that the report be received.
