(See separate Covid Guidance page for the rules for working in and outside the office)
Everybody wants to work in an environment where they feel safe, fit, healthy and productive, and at Mole Valley District Council (MVDC) we understand the important contribution that actively managing Health and Safety has to play in achieving this goal.
However, we recognise that in a busy, changing work place we can never be complacent, and that we all need to be mindful of our environment and report any Health and Safety concerns as soon as they arise.
If you see anything that you feel has the potential to cause injury to a person or damage to property, if you experience your own ‘near miss’, or if you are unfortunate enough to be involved in an accident or incident yourself, you must report it – using the forms available on this page, or via your manager. The necessary steps can then be taken to eliminate, reduce or control the risk identified at an early stage.
Should you have any questions, or suggestions about how we might manage Health & Safety better, please phone the Health and Safety Coordinator, Ellie Miles, on extension 3227 or e-mail her on ellie.miles@molevalley.gov.uk
Please raise any health and safety issues or concerns with your manager in the first instance and then with Ellie Miles or a Staff Hub member (Staff Hub act as MVDC’s Health and Safety Committee).
Thank you

Deputy Chief Executive and Executive Head of Service (Planning and Regulation), and Health and Safety Champion
