Health and Safety

The Council must investigate, evaluate and monitor suppliers’ policies and practices in respect to health and safety. These arrangements are based upon good practice and will ensure that the Council fulfils its obligation under the relevant legislation.

The Council has agreed to comply with the requirements of the Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme (CHAS) as the minimum safety standard for contractors working for the Council.

The Health and Safety Commission has issued a number of guidance pamphlets on health and safety policies. Two useful ones are:

• Writing a Safety Policy Statement – Advice to Employers
• Construction Industry Advisory Committee Pamphlet – Guidance on the Implementation of Safety Policies

These are available from:
