Service Description: Health and Safety is about preventing people from being harmed or becoming ill at work by ensuring that the right precautions are in place and providing a satisfactory working environment. Environmental Health (IOW Council) cover offices, shops, hotels and catering, and leisure activities. Other premises are covered by the Health and Safety Executive (see weblink below).
Also known as:- External Health & Safety
Answer: Wherever there is a risk that has not been avoided or controlled by other means (e.g. by engineering controls and safe systems of work), employers are required to provide specific safety signs. Where a safety sign would not help to reduce that risk, or where the risk is not significant, there is no need to provide a sign.
