Health and Safety at Work
Workplaces, with few exceptions, are subject to occupational health
and safety visits to ensure that employers and other duty
holders (e.g. self employed organisations) are fulfilling
their legal obligations.
The Health and Safety Section carries out a wide variety of duties
relating to health and safety at work. This includes planned
workplace inspections, accident investigations, complaints and
providing advice to a range of businesses
and workers within Perth & Kinross.
This service is only available for private companies
mainly within the service sector. Some examples are Theatres,
Cinemas, Offices, Shops, The Leisure industry, Hotels, Warehouses,
Catering establishments etc.
If you have any questions, or would like to make a report
or complaint please contact us on 01738 476476 or email
FoodHealthandSafety@pkc.gov.uk.
Council activities, government agencies, factories,
agriculture and construction sites are examples of
organisations regulated by the Health and Safety Executive
(HSE). Further information can be found on the Health and Safety Executive
website.
Small and Medium sized enterprises {SME's} (those with less than
250 workers) can also receive free occupational health and safety
advice from specialist advisors from the Scottish Centre for
Healthy Working Lives. This service has also been extended to
include occupational health support from the Working Health Team.
