Health and safety complaints

The council receives and investigates a range of Health and Safety related service requests every year.  If the report relates to a high risk premises or is indicative of a significant safety concern this will be investigated. If the report is considered low risk the details will be logged and used for intelligence purposes. 

Common queries relate to:

• smoking in public places
• temperature control in the workplace
• work based welfare and cleanliness
• Asbestos waste - this is no longer handled by council HWRCs. Download advice about asbestos (PDF- 534Kb)
