Title:
Regulatory Services Appointment of Agency Support for Health and Safety Advice
Subject and Decision Taken

Regulatory Services has appointed Agency Support for 6 months to review and provide assistance those business sectors enforced by the City Council under the Health and Safety at Work Act.

Reason for Decision

Changes in Government guidance, and the Health and Safety Executive’s instructions in respect of business compliance with Covid 19 controls, has increased the activity of Regulatory Services in respect of its Health and Safety at Work Act duties. The additional advisory capacity will greatly help provide the checks and support to business and events. The Agency support is within the compliance scope of the Compliance Outbreak Management Fund (COMF) that central Government has provided to the City Council.

Details of alternative options considered

External adverts went out for 12-month Covid Enforcement Officers but there were no suitable applications.

As the pandemic and regulatory requirements are affecting all local authorities there is a shortage of skilled regulatory and health and safety experienced officers.

It has taken time to find a suitable Agency candidate.
