Council given notice over risk assessments

Daily Hazard, n75 p3, Aug 2002

pdf version (what's that?)

The London Borough of Waltham Forest was recently served an improvement notice for not doing risk assessments following an accident investigation by the HSE.

A council worker in the EduAction department fell from a ladder in a serious accident which was reported to the HSE. The HSE also found no safety training had been provided. The notice was served on the authority and EduAction.

The Council is now ensuring risk assessments have been done and local Unison reps are to raise the issue at the Safety Committee.
