This manual has been produced with the concept of providing Isle of Wight Council managers, supervisors and other persons with an interest in health and safety, with a source of reference, which will assist them in managing health and safety and enable them to formulate and develop their own in-house safety documentation. It will also ensure that they have access to all the corporate policies and are fully aware of the health and safety management structure and systems for compliance with legislation, which are in operation within the Council.
