Minutes:

The Committee had before it a report by the Director of Commissioning which presented statistical health and safety performance information for the three month reporting period October to December 2022 to provide Members with the opportunity to monitor compliance with health and safety legislation.

 

Members asked a number of questions in relation to the report, including the statistics around incidents of unacceptable behaviour.  There was further discussion around the differing requirements by Health and Safety Executive inspectors and the request for paper records to be made available on site when electronic records were already available.

 

The report recommended:-

that the Committee note the report and provide comment on the health, safety policy, performance, trends, and improvements.

 

The Committee resolved:-

(i)       to note that the Chief Officer – Corporate Landlord was liaising with the Health and Safety Executive in relation to the differing expectations of inspectors in terms of paper records and electronic records;

(ii)       to note that officers would review the colour scheme used in the graphs to ensure that there was consistency between graphs relating to similar information;

(iii)      to otherwise note the report.
