It was reported that recent recruitment activity had been successful and following appropriate training would have a positive impact on service delivery.

Ms D Miller left the meeting at 10.50am. What is the position in relation to the revised Health and Safety Policy? BS gave a presentation to members, introducing the recently revised Policy. The Policy, required by Statute, had been revised due to a number of reorganizational and structural changes over recent years and had been no longer fit for purpose. He outlined the key Policy principles which were to; underpin and enable HQA and our objectives, support an integrated, joined-up culture and approach to safety, taking a risk based approach to statutory compliance, promoting sensible risk management, build and maintain competence and facilitating mangers to own and control their risks. BS outlined the relevant accountabilities and responsibilities for managers and staff, the governance arrangements along with the appropriate document control and structure. Implementing the Policy required a safety management system based on a Plan-Do- Check-Act approach and NHSH subscribed to the HSEs HSG65 Managing for Health & Safety model. The Policy itself was a one page document and was underpinned by a documented suite of management 5
6 What should the NHS Board be seeking to achieve, avoid and be mindful of? How should the revised Policy be taken forward? arrangements (eg governance & assurance, risk assessment, accountabilities & responsibilities, competence, consultation, monitoring etc), and hazard based procedures (eg COSHH, Violence and Aggression, Moving & Handling, Fire Safety, Occupational Road Risk, Lone Working) In summary, successful Policy implementation would rely on good visible leadership, effective risk management, control, communication and staff consultation by managers and staff. BS highlighted a range of day to day activity areas that should ideally be commenced or continued, with a degree of focus on leadership, culture, investigation and reporting. There was a role for senior managers in taking staff along the Health & Safety journey. He emphasised the importance of prioritising and discussing difficult issues whilst making the best use of available resource, the importance of being able to consider upstream elements, developing appropriately designed systems and being mindful of the potential impact of decisions being taken at a high level. In thanking Mr Summers for the development of a comprehensive and easy to read document it was stated this should be presented at NHS Board level. There was general agreement that a communications plan, based on the Statement of Intent was required. It was suggested that to emphasise the links between Health & Safety and patient safety that activity be undertaken in a single hospital ward to test the approach at front line level. The Committee otherwise agreed to endorse the circulated revised draft Health and Safety Policy subject to the Statement of Intent being updated to reflect discussion in relation to links to patient safety. 6 Agreed to circulate a web link to video on leading staff Committee Administrator Agreed dissemination of the Policy be planned in association with Communications Team B Summers Agreed to consider how best to develop a communication plan.

Agreed Intranet element be re-badged Safety B Summers Progress on Sharps LearnPro Training Uptake Audit the Implementation of VA Individualised Risk Assessment and Management plans in Care Homes, Community and Ward Areas There had been circulated a report indicating the performance against the training uptake targets to October This showed that Dental Services had achieved 100%, Argyll and Bute 75%, North and West 70%, Raigmore 40% and South & Mid 50 (approx figures). Challenges in collating data were noted. Stated using sharps safely is reinforced by adopting safe behaviours/practice and could only be underpinned through training and supervision. Operational Units were strongly encouraged to promote and drive forward improvements in uptake before end March 2016 in order to secure safe practice and patient care. FM requested quarterly updates to Operational Units and the Chair requested a further update also be provided to the November 2016 meeting. Ms Fraser advised progress was being made.

JB spoke to the Committee, advising as Environmental Sustainability Manager he and his team, as part of the Estates Service, had responsibility for policy implementation across NHSH with activity recorded on the emart system. Annual spend was in the region of 820k per annum. He was Chair of the North Waste Consortium, meeting quarterly and comprising seven NHS Boards. There was a National Waste Management Steering Group that reported to a National Sustainability Group. In Highland, the contract for non-clinical waste was held by MITIE, this having been extended to September Having outlined relevant technical aspects, including in relation to the circulated CEL14(2013) Scottish Government letter and Waste Management Action Plan , JB advised the Scottish Government Zero Waste plan set challenging targets for all NHS Boards, with Waste (Scotland) Regulations having been introduced in This impacted on areas such as recycling, food and bio-degradable waste. In Highland, following a previous audit of activity, areas of non-compliance had been addressed, 8
9 there was close liaison with the local SEPA Officer, and a Highland Waste Management Group established. The Group had developed an Action Plan, segregation chart; was in the process of developing an appropriate policy document, associated procedures and risk assessment for community based staff. Other actions had included savings identification and development of a Sustainable Development Action Plan. A contract for food waste management was out to tender. A system (Warp-It), funded by Health Facilities Scotland, for re-use of equipment, furniture and other resources had been established and this was generating a range of cash and carbon savings. Consideration was being given to extending the scheme to Highland Council and perhaps University of Highlands and Islands. A Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor had been engaged. There were now four waste audits per year, the most recent of which had related to clinical waste storage areas. Current activity included the introduction of reusable sharps boxes in all areas and the removal of plaster casts and dental moulds from clinical waste. Why was the emart system introduced in NHS Highland? JB advised this allowed for more efficient reporting, especially from relevant contractors. It would also assist in the production of future sustainability reports. What are the arrangements in Argyll and Bute? JB advised he maintained overall responsibility and that Mr J Dempsey managed the local arrangements in that area. The Committee thanked Mr Burnside for the comprehensive update provided and requested that an annual update on the Waste Management Group Action Plan be submitted to the Committee. 9 Agreed Integrated Joint Board be reminded as to Policy adherence and assurance requirements J Burnside Agreed to receive annual progress report on the Waste Management Group Action Plan J Burnside
