Ignoring risks to employees and the public can be costly in terms of human suffering and direct costs to businesses. The intention of health and safety enforcement is to reduce work-related ill health and accidents, and to protect the health, safety and welfare of employees, and also to safeguard others, principally the public, who may be exposed to risks from the way work is carried out. The purpose of this service is to ensure that duty holders manage and control risks effectively, thus preventing harm. The Council uses a risk based approach through a combination of inspection of workplaces and work activities, investigation of incidents and complaints, provision of advice on a number of topics including asbestos, promotion of health and safety issues, and also by responding to requests for service.
