Decision:
Resolved that the Health and Safety Service Delivery Plan for 2011/12 be approved.
Minutes:
The Cabinet Member Housing and Safety introduced the Health and Safety Service Delivery Plan which was the Council’s expression of commitment to the delivery of an improving cost effective and efficient regulatory service.
When Cabinet had
reviewed the plan in June 2010 they had requested that in future
any changes to the plan were brought to their attention. The
Cabinet Member highlighted the
formation of the Work Well Gloucestershire project where
neighbouring authorities and the Health and Safety Executive worked
in partnership. One of the first successes of this project had been
to achieve full compliance with the new standards for enforcement
of Section 18 of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (HSWA)
which became mandatory from 1 April
2011.
Cabinet Members commended officers in their ongoing work to ensure delivery of the plan. In particular the Cabinet Member Corporate Services highlighted the excellent work they had done in dealing with the asbestos risk during the demolition of the Greyhound.
Resolved that the Health and Safety Service Delivery Plan for 2011/12 be approved.
