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:
