That:

1)         the internal health and safety performance for 2018-19 be noted; and

2)        the approach described and the health and safety priorities for the current municipal year 2019-20 be endorsed.

The Executive considered a report setting out the Council’s health and safety performance during 2018-19, highlighting the main achievements over the year and outlining the key priorities for the coming year.

The Executive Member for Finance and Housing reported that there was a slight increase in the number of reported incidents, particularly those reported by schools, which had gone up by 42% in 2018/19.  Councillor Kaiser emphasised that this was not due to there being more incidents but related to more thorough reporting of incidents. 

RESOLVED that:

1)         the internal health and safety performance for 2018-19 be noted; and

2)        the approach described and the health and safety priorities for the current municipal year 2019-20 be endorsed.
