That:

1)         the corporate health and safety performance for 2015/16 be noted; and

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

The Executive considered the Health and Safety Annual Report 2015/16 which sets out the internal health and safety performance covering both the Council and schools during that period, highlighting the main achievements over the year and outlining key priorities for the current year.

The Executive Member for Resident Services advised that in order to make the report clearer data on school incidents had been separated out.  Although there was an increase in the number of incidents reported in schools it was believed that this was due to better reporting and not an increase in actual incidents.  Also the number of serious incidents in schools was actually decreasing.

RESOLVED That:

1)         the corporate health and safety performance for 2015/16 be noted; and

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