Considerations/Reasons for Decision

 

  1. Report number ENV702 of the Cabinet Member for Environment and the Health and Safety General Policy Statement attached as Appendix 1 to the report and the Health and Safety Policy Handbook (Appendix 2 to the report)
  2. Minimum requirements set out in the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 against which the Council has to deliver
  3. The Management of health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999
  4. Delivery of the Council’s Corporate Strategy is underpinned by good health and safety arrangements

 

Other options considered and assessed

 

The requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 underpin the requirement to have in place appropriate policies. No other options have therefore been considered.
