The Executive Member for People & Information presented the report which recommended a revised Health & Safety Policy for formal adoption and implementation.
It was noted that at the request of the Overview & Scrutiny Commission the Construction, Design and Management Regulations 2015 had since been included.
In response to a question about not needing the aforementioned regulations, the Executive Director of Place advised that any contractor working for the Council could now be held to account; it also would include an audit trail of their health and safety responsibilities.
