Issue - meetings

To receive a report from the Chief Fire Officer, which asks the Authority to note the Health and Safety report for 2018-19.

The Authority received a report from the Chief Fire Officer (item 9 in the minute book), which asked Members to note the Health and Safety Annual Report.

The health and safety of staff was a primary concern and focus for the Fire Service.  It was noted that ‘near miss’ incidents and ‘cause for concern’ categories had increased, meaning that there was more awareness around risks and incidents and in future further work could be done to minimise the risks.

Members requested more granulated detail in the report going forward.

RESOLVED:

The Annual Health and Safety Report presented was noted by Hampshire Fire and Rescue Authority.
