About Us

The Council presently consists of a Chairman, appointed by the States on the recommendation of the now Employment and Social Security Committee, four members and two co-opted members, all of whom are selected from the working community and recognised as individuals with an interest in health and safety at work. The Council is assisted by a part-time secretary, the only paid employee of the Council, the Chairman and members serving in an honorary capacity.

Since its inception, the Council has been involved in holding seminars, carrying out promotional activities and principally organising training courses. The achievements of the Council over this period have been recognised and formally recorded, initially by the Social Security Committee and subsequently by the Employment and Social Security Committee, with thousands of individuals having benefitted from the work that they have carried out.

In order to carry out this work, the Council is financed with an annual grant by the States of Jersey which is provided through the Employment and Social Security Committee. At present this grant is £31,200 based on a carefully controlled budget. 

We continue to look at ways of raising awareness of health and safety within the working community through a variety of options.  In 2007 a few changes occurred in the membership of the Council Committee and a new strategy was put forward entitled ’The Next Step’.   This sets out those options and how we intend to achieve them.  This document can be seen by clicking here
