Health and safety is monitored by services using reactive and proactive measures to provide indicators of health and safety performance to support the continued implementation and monitoring of the health and safety management system.  \nPerformance indicators are used to monitor actions and control measures in place that mitigate identified risks. They provide objective information that is measurable and easily collected. They also provide reliable indicators of performance relating to monitoring the deployment of policies and procedures and, service health and safety objectives.  \nAnnual health and safety performance indicators for the period 2024/25 remained on target with exception of the number of reportable incidents to the Health and Safety Executive which monitors the aim to reduce the number of reportable incidents on an annual basis. More information on these incidents can be found in section D.4.  \nHealth and safety is a standing item at service management team meetings. It is also a standing item for meetings of the Corporate Management Team. A comprehensive report in relation to health and safety legislation, guidance and incidents across all council services is considered with a view to learning lessons, making any required improvements, identifying emerging risks and sharing good practice.
