SECTION 6 - HEALTH AND SAFETY All deploying services and agencies are required to comply with the requirements of the health and Safety at Work Act 1974, and all other relevant statutory provisions and recognised codes of practice to provide, as far as is reasonably practicable, a safe working environment 3 . It is recommended that a risk based methodology is to be adopted to manage the hazards and risks faced. Each service or agency involved will be responsible for the health and safety of their own staff, for ensuring risk assessments have been completed for all tasks, and control measures (including safe systems of work) are implemented and communicated to staff before assets are deployed. Where appropriate, issues will be referred to the Strategic (Gold) Group for further directions this will include the Scientific/Technical Advice Cell (STAC) who can inform the health and safety risk assessment process and safe systems of work. There may be instances where the response requires that work is delayed until safe operating arrangements are put in place, such as the recovery of casualties and victims. It is important to ensure that all responders and other personnel are not endangered in a way which would increase the potential for further casualties and fatalities. Risk assessments for health and safety and health protection may rule out any, or some, victim recovery in certain circumstances. Any Mass Fatality incident will place enormous demands upon all those staff involved it is important to ensure that provision is in place to support all those involved in such work. 3 The Safe Handling of Contaminated Fatalities Guidance Document June 2009 Home Office <strong>London</strong> Mass Fatality Plan Page 25 of 30 Version 4
