The aim is to achieve the highest standards of health and safety for our employees, service users, contractors and members of the public who come into contact with our activities.
We are required under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 to prepare and regularly review our written policy statement, organisational responsibilities and arrangements with regard to the health and safety at work of our employees.
Executive health and safety policy statement and responsibilities
The executive health and safety policy statement and responsibilities sets out our commitment to maintaining high standards of health, safety, and wellbeing for employees, customers, stakeholders, contractors, and anyone affected by our services. The policy is regularly reviewed to reflect organisational changes and legislative requirements

Health and safety guidance and arrangements
We have produced health and safety guidance which can be found in the related documents section. This guidance contains arrangements which support our implementation of the executive health and safety policy.
The guidance forms the minimum levels of health and safety compliance that must be implemented in all our activities. All employees are expected to meet these requirements.
Where you feel there are shortcomings in the guidance please contact the health, safety and wellbeing function email: healthandsafety.enquiries@derbyshire.gov.uk.
