Issue - decisions

Matter for Decision:

The Health and Safety Work Plan incorporates the advice and guidance given to Local Authorities in the Health and Safety at Work Act, 1974 and the Health & Safety Executive’s (HSE) Strategic Plan. It is more comprehensive and detailed in respect to health and safety enforcement than that contained in the general Refuse and Environment Operational plan.

The document would provide some reference point to which managers can measure work performance and outputs while recognising the need for continually reviewing the work programme throughout the year.
