Health and Safety Initiatives


Safer Guilford

Starting from January Environmental Health and Licensing Services is working with the Safer Guildford Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership (CDRP) on a new initiative to reduce crime and antisocial behaviour in the town centre.

Visit the Safer Guildford Partnership website (this page opens in a new window) to find out more about how we are working with the CDRP and town centre businesses to make the centre a safer place.

Ladder Exchange

Every month nationally nearly 100 people fall off a ladder at work and suffer serious injuries.

Environmental Health Officers from Guildford Borough Council and Inspectors from the Health and Safety Executive will promote ladder safety messages during June and July through a ladders exchange that aims to remove 4000 faulty ladders from workplaces in Great Britain.

Employers in Guildford Borough can get their ladders checked and where necessary trade ladders in for new ones (this page opens in a new window) at a discounted price at HSS in Woodbridge Road in Guildford.

When it comes to increasing ladder safety, always ask yourself three simple questions:

  • Do you need a ladder or should you use something different?
  • Is it the right ladder?
  • Are you using the ladder safely?

To learn more about ladder safety please take a look at ladder checks (this page opens in a new window).

For further information please contact Environmental Health and Licensing Services.
