Health & Safety Inspections and Audits
-
NOTE
This section does not record the local inspections undertaken by local management on daily work activities, for example daily vehicle checks undertaken by drivers or walk-throughs of park areas by Park Staff.
Inspections
-
During the last three month period the following Health & Safety Inspections were carried out bu the Corporate Health & Safety Advisor;
-
Trade Unions have a legal entitlement to undertake workplace inspections, however records of these events are not held by the Corporate Health and Safety Unit.
-
Good management practices show that regular Management Health and safety inspections promote a safer workplace and allow issues to be rectified before they become a problem. These records should be kept within the Service Area and so no record of such is kept by the Corporate Safety Unit.
Service Managers Self Audit
-
Prior to carrying out an Audit, Managers should complete a self evaluation so that the scope of the Audit can be ascertained.

Accident Investigations

As part of the accident / incident reporting system, managers are required to undertake an initial investigation of all reported accidents / incidents; this is happening to varying degrees of thoroughness. In addition, the Corporate Health & Safety Adviser can choose to undertake further investigation; this could happen when, for example: -
• The adviser suspects that legal action (criminal or civil) could ensue;
• A report is required under the RIDDOR regulations;
• There are similarities with other incidences, etc. -
Location and detail of incident. (inc potential for claim/litigation)
