Agenda item

To receive a report of the Commissioner of Police.

The Committee received a report of the Commissioner which advised Members on the progress made in developing and applying the Health and Safety policy through the Force. 

The Commissioner noted that due to staff changes there had been a lack of continuity which had resulted in the non-completion of annual Corporation Risk Management documentation. He suggested health and safety management performance would now be monitored at the corporate level at the Force’s Performance Management Group to ensure that potential under reporting did not occur in the future. It was agreed a future monitoring report would be received by the Performance and Resource Management Sub Committee at its February meeting.

The Commissioner stated work was underway to ensure the Annual Certificate of Safety Assurance, which demonstrated the Force’s commitment to Health and Safety and was dated February 2012, would be completed by January 2014.
