Health and Safety
Asbestos can be found in any building built before the year 2000 (houses, factories, offices, schools, hospitals etc.) and causes around 5000 deaths every year.
Environmental Health is responsible for carrying out health and safety inspections and the investigation of complaints and accidents at commercial premises in the district.
If you're running a business, here's what you need to think about.
Employers have a duty to report certain dangerous occurrences and accidents at work to the relevant enforcing authority (HSE or Local Authority).
