Health and Safety
All Forensic Services staff recently undertook mandatory Working Safely training which was developed by the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH). This consisted of a course programme delivered as an E-learning package (of approximately 7 hours in duration) covering workplace safety, focus on hazards and risk as well as covering UK legislative and regulatory requirements.
This training is part of an organisation wide programme to further improve the management of health and safety across Forensic Services. Further activity is underway to improve management planning and practice and to make documentation more comprehensive, accessible and user friendly for staff working across every area of the service. This is a core management priority for the year ahead, ensuring continuous improvement to keep the workplace safe for our staff, partners and the public that we interact with daily.
