Whilst the Health and Safety at Work Etc. Act
1974 and subordinate legislation is primarily enforced
through pro-active inspections, project-related visits and reactive
investigations of accidents and complaints, the Team’s officers
also give talks and presentations to a range of interest groups
both locally and nationally in order to promote health & safety
and the work of the City of London in the 'Square Mile'.
The City of London also funds the
Occupational Health Helpline run by the London Chamber of
Commerce & Industry and who deal with over 4000 enquiries from
the City and the London area generally each year on a range of
health & safety topics.
We also have access to a variety of health & safety
information sources and the Team holds a stock of free health &
safety related leaflets produced and published by the HSE, many of
which are also available as free downloads from their own website;
HSE Free
Leaflets. Additionally information may also be obtained from
the HSE Infoline either over the telephone ( 08701
545500) or by
email.
