Description: The Council’s enforcement decisions will be made in accordance with this Enforcement Policy. The aim is to ensure clear and consistent enforcement which takes account of national guidance and good practice. It will be used alongside additional guidance covering specific areas of work. Officers are required to regulate activities across a wide range of business and in their professional dealings with every type of individual. Officers seek to find solutions without the need for formal enforcement. However, the aim of the Council’s efforts is the protection of people at work, the general public and the environment from harm caused by failure to comply with the safeguards provided for in law. There will therefore be circumstances in which enforcement is unavoidable. If necessary and appropriate the Council will use the enforcement powers available to ensure legal compliance.
