Health & Safety

The most important thing is that we all go home from work and we are safe whilst engaging in Police Duties, Health and Safety in the police service can be difficult because as everyone runs away from danger Police officers are expected to run towards it. There is a balance to be had, the Health and Safety Executive who investigate and prosecute Health and safety matters on behalf of the Government have provided Guidance of how to balance the risk and the expectation

We have both Workplace Health and Safety Representatives and Federation Representatives who are trained in Health and Safety Matters.
