Agenda item

The Committee had before it a report by the Executive Director Corporate Services which provided a summary of statistical health and safety performance information for the three month reporting period from April to July 2024 to provide the Committee with the opportunity to monitor compliance with health and safety legislation.

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)       in relation to the chart on page 39 of the agenda (reported incidents from 2021/22 to 2024/25) to request that in future reports, officers include a breakdown of figures showing comparable performance by quarter in previous years, rather than by year;

(ii)       in relation to section 3.5.5 of the report, and the wording “The choice on recording of every incident should be done following a consultation between the line manager and the affected member of staff”, to note that there could be further discussion between officers and Trade Union representatives on this wording at their regular meeting, however to note the potential compromise suggested at the Committee meeting of “The choice on where to report the incident”; and

(iii)      to otherwise note the report.
