3 1. INTRODUCTION This Policy outlines the framework developed by Leicestershire County Council to manage health, safety and wellbeing. The Policy is a declaration of the County Council s commitment to provide, so far as is reasonably practicable, safe and healthy conditions for employees and persons other than employees who use or visit the Council s premises, or who may be affected by its activities. Each department will develop more detailed and specific systems and procedures to ensure that health, safety and wellbeing on a day-to-day basis is adequately managed. The management systems required to manage health, safety and wellbeing should be proportionate to the level of risk within departments. Leicestershire County Council will establish and adopt procedures to ensure that the health, safety and wellbeing objectives and priorities are monitored and delivered to a high standard and that a pro-active culture to health, safety and wellbeing is maintained throughout. The policy has been produced as required by Section 2 (3) of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 to clearly identify the responsibilities of Elected Members, Chief Executive, Directors, Heads of Service and Head Teachers. The purpose of the Policy is to demonstrate that the senior management of Leicestershire County Council are totally committed to the health, safety and wellbeing of all employees and persons other than employees that are affected by our activities. The Chief Executive may delegate many of the responsibilities to Directors, Heads of Service, and Line Managers. By delegating the responsibility the Chief Executive will still remain accountable and responsible. This Policy is set out in four parts: Policy Statement Organisation and Responsibilities Arrangements Monitoring and Review Chief Executive s corporate declaration of intent on behalf of Leicestershire County Council Management structure with the definition of roles and responsibilities within Leicestershire County Council Procedures and systems necessary for implementing the policy The system for measuring the effectiveness of the arrangements and for reviewing health and safety performance 3
4 2. GENERAL POLICY STATEMENT This Health, Safety and Wellbeing Policy is intended to provide a practical framework for the implementation of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and all relevant legislation, which will be the minimum standard acceptable. It is the policy of Leicestershire County Council that the health, safety and wellbeing of its employees at work shall be, so far as is reasonably practicable, a responsibility of Directors equal to that of any other function delegated to them by Leicestershire County Council. In the design, construction, operation, transportation and maintenance of all plant equipment and materials used and facilities provided, it is Leicestershire County Council s intention to prevent, so far as is reasonably practicable, injury to their employees and any other persons. Therefore the Directors will make available such information, instruction, training and supervision as is necessary to ensure the health, safety and wellbeing at work of all Leicestershire County Council s employees for whom they are responsible and provide the necessary safety devices and adequate controls for those at risk. In addition, safe systems of work through risk assessment will be adopted and promoted. Without detracting from the primary responsibilities of the Directors, Heads of Service, Head Teachers and Line Managers for ensuring safe conditions at work, Leicestershire County Council will provide competent technical advice and training on health, safety and wellbeing matters where necessary and make resources available to promote healthy and safe working conditions. Leicestershire County Council recognises that for a health, safety and wellbeing policy to be successful it should actively involve all employees. Leicestershire County Council will therefore co-operate fully in the appointment of employee safety representatives and include them in discussions and consultations in order to promote and develop measures to ensure adequate standards of health, safety and wellbeing at work are achieved and monitor the effectiveness of such measures. Equally, it is the duty of every employee to take reasonable care for the health, safety and wellbeing of themselves and their fellow employees or any third party who may be affected by their actions at work and to co-operate with management to enable Leicestershire County Council to carry out its own responsibilities for health, safety and wellbeing successfully. The general standards of health, safety and wellbeing, as defined in this statement, will be supplemented by departments arrangements and Directors will be responsible for implementing the policy commitment of Leicestershire County Council on health, safety and wellbeing within their departments. 4
5 This statement of policy will be kept under review and any amendments made to it will be brought to the notice of all Leicestershire County Council employees. John Sinnott Chief Executive Date: July
6 3.ORGANISATION AND RESPONSIBILITIES Successful health, safety and wellbeing management depends on a systematic approach throughout the organisation, so that health, safety and wellbeing becomes fully integrated with all other aspects of business management.
