Issue - meetings

The Committee resolved:-

(i)       to approve the Corporate Health and Safety Policy as attached at Appendix A which from 1st May 2021 will replace the previous policy; and

(ii)       to note that the policy will be used as a training and development tool during the remainder of 2021.

The Committee had before it a report by the Chief Officer – Governance which sought approval of a revised Corporate Health and Safety Policy.  The report noted that the Policy had last been approved by the Committee in 2018 and had therefore been reviewed to comply with the requirements for a new policy template.  Certain sections had been worded differently and other additional detail, outlined in the report, added but it was noted that no significant changes were included.

The report recommended:-

that Committee –

(a)      approve the Corporate Health and Safety Policy as attached at Appendix A which from 1 May 2021 would replace the previous Policy; and

(b)      note that the Policy would be used as a training and development tool during the remainder of 2021.

The Committee resolved:-

to approve the recommendations.
