Health and Safety at Work

Environmental Health Team

 

The Environmental Health (Food and Safety) Team is responsible for regulating health and safety at work in a range of workplaces across West Lancashire including:

 

  • Hospitality premises
  • Beauty premises
  • Warehouses
  • Offices
  • Retail
  • Day nurseries

 

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulates other businesses such as factories, transport and farms. More information on who is responsible for regulating which workplace is available here (external). 

 

The Team investigates complaints and concerns about health and safety at work, conducts health and safety inspections at work premises and investigates accidents and incidents at work.

 

Our aim is to protect the health, safety and welfare of people working in West Lancashire and to safeguard others who may be exposed to risks from such activities.
