Environmental health and safety inspections

We work with the The Health and Safety Executive to enforce Health and Safety legislation in the borough.

Our qualified inspectors regularly visit  local businesses to make sure the laws are understood and applied by both employers and their staff. 

To find out which businesses we visit view businesses in which we enforce health and safety legislation.

We do not enforce Health and Safety at:

  • building sites
  • council owned premises
  • private housing
  • companies whose main activity is manufacturing.

This is enforced by The Health and Safety Executive

You can make a complaint about advice given by Health & Safety Executive (HSE) or Local Authority (LA) inspectors if you think is incorrect or goes beyond what is required to control the risk.

Complaints are considered by a panel of independent members.
