Health & Safety Introduction

Introduction from Jeannette Royle (MIOSH, MSc)

Welcome to the Children and Young People's Department, Health and Safety website.

Since joining Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council back in the early 90s it has been my priority to give staff both sound and practical health and safety advice that not only meets the requirements of legislation, but advice that is easy to put into practice. Even with the expansion of the Health and Safety team, our primary aim is to continue to give you the practical advice you and your colleagues need to work safely and healthily.

The increasing use of technology has enabled us to look at how we provide you with the necessary health and safety information. Whilst we will continue to talk to you on the telephone, visit you at your place of work and provide written advice, this dedicated website will ensure you have the most recent health and Safety advice.

Including:

• Publications (both local and national)
• Links to other safety web-sites
• Bulletins and information
• Accident Information
• Training opportunities
• Claims and insurance information
• Minutes of health and safety committees

I hope this technological move into the 21st century helps us to improve health and safety standards, which befits that of a caring organisation.
