Health and Safety Policy

(Extract from Health and Safety Policy)

 Comhairle Nan Eilean Siar recognises that employees are a vital asset to the organisation and it has a duty to ensure that the proper provisions are made for their health, safety and welfare.

The Comhairle supports and endorses the current Government “Revitalising Health and Safety Strategy”, “Securing Health Together” principles and other partnerships. To achieve the targets and objectives the Comhairle will:

1) Recognise that safety is of paramount importance and an integral part of all
business activities.

2) Provide a service delivery/working environment that protects the health, safety and welfare of its employees, visitors and contractors and safeguards our neighbours.

3) Be committed to the systematic identification of hazards, control of risk and the pursuit of progressive improvements in health, safety, welfare and the environment.
