Health and Safety at Work Enforcement

Our Health and Safety Enforcement Policy

The purpose of the document is to state the Authority's general policy with respect to health and safety law enforcement; following guidance issued by the Health and Safety Executive.

The Policy is based on the principles of proportionality (to secure compliance), consistency (of approach), targeting (of enforcement action) and transparency (of methods and organisation), and all health and safety enforcement action will be taken in line with this policy.

The Health and Safety Enforcement Policy is currently being reviewed, if you would like to be consulted on the revised Health and Safety Enforcement Policy then contact the Commercial Group and we will arrange for a copy to be sent to you before the policy is finalised for your comments.
