We routinely inspect all workplaces in the district to ensure that they are safe both for the people who work there and those who visit their premises. The frequency with which premises are inspected depends on the level of risk posed by the business. Each premises is given a risk score every time it is inspected.

We also inspect workplaces following complaints and accidents. Where conditions are below standard we can take a number of measures. This can range from giving advice to the person operating the business right through to prosecuting them in the courts.

You can carry out a self-assessment of your business using our - Self-Assessment Checklist to check whether you are complying with all aspects of health and safety legislation. After completion you may send the form back to the health and safety team for feedback.
