Health and Safety
The Environmental Health tam carry out routine inspections
of commercial premises for which they are the enforcing authority
to assess compliance with health and safety legislation. We
investigate complaints and accidents with regard to these premises
and provide advice for new and existing businesses.
Enforcing Health and Safety Law
On finding a breach of Health and Safety Law, the Inspector will
decide what action to take. The action will depend on the nature of
the breach, and will be based on the principles set out
in Carlisle City Councils’ Enforcement
Policy.
The inspector will provide employees or their
representatives with information about any action taken, or which
is necessary for the purpose of keeping them informed about matters
affecting their health, safety and welfare.
