Report an incident

The council has a legal responsibility to protect the health, safety and well being of all its employees, pupils and visitors. In order to fulfil this responsibility and comply with legislation SCC must ensure that all accidents and incidents are reported, recorded and investigated.

The Health and Safety Management System (HSMS) has been developed to make this process more efficient and less of an administrative burden.
