Health and safety - occupational health services
The Health and Safety Team in Environmental Health aim to ensure that work-related ill-health is prevented wherever possible by:
- inspecting places of work to ensure compliance with health and safety law, in accordance with government priorities
- investigating reports of work-related ill-health
- investigating complaints about unhealthy working conditions
- giving advice to all stakeholders on occupational health issues
If you wish to make a complaint about unhealthy working conditions, or need advice, please contact us on 020 8359 7995. Advice can also be obtained from the Employment Medical Advisory Service on 020 7556 2100.
Some workplaces will be the responsibility of the Health and Safety Executive, rather than the Council, according to the nature of the work carried out. We can advise you who the relevant 'enforcing authority' for health and safety purposes is, when you contact us.
