Principal Health and Safety Advisor, presented the Committee with the Corporate
Health, Safety and Welfare Policy and the Corporate Accident/ Incident report
from 1 April to 1 September 2016. The
interim health and safety report on the performance of health and safety
management in relation to Key Performance Indicators for the current financial
year was appended.
The
reported highlighted:
1. national and local health and safety
information together with identified trends;
2. that there had been a year by year decrease
in the number of accidents resulting in ‘days lost’, with 10 this year and 13
for the same period last year;
|
3.
this
decrease was primarily due to the reduction in the number of manual handling
accidents, in particular involving Social Care staff, and also slips and
trips accidents, which took place whilst working outdoors; |
|
4.
there
had been a significant decrease in the number of physical violent incidents
on both Council and school staff; and |
|
5.
although
there has been a slight decline in the use of the Lone Working Monitoring
system; new equipment was now available that was easier to carry and raise an
alarm and also, new processes implemented that were intended to expedite
registration and training. |
RESOLVED: That the report be noted.
