Representatives of the Environmental Health Departments in Warwickshire and Coventry, together with the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) local Inspectors and Partnership Manager, meet regularly to progress the accident and disease reduction programmes known as FIT3.
FIT3
The Fit3 strategic programme has been designed by HSE, Local Authorities Coordinators of Regulatory Services (LACORS) and local authorities to deliver the Health and Safety Commissions Public Service Agreement (PSA) target on reducing work related ill health, injury and days lost.
Health and Safety Commission (HSC) funding is dependent on delivery.
To meet the PSA targets the Fit3 strategic programme comprises a number of component programmes. The contributions of these are aligned with the three elements of the target.
- Injury Reduction: Slips and Trips, Workplace Transport, Falls from Height, Construction
- Ill Health Reduction: Stress, Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs), Occupational Health Support, Disease Reduction, Noise and Hand Arm Vibration (HAV)
- Days Lost Reduction: Public Services, Return to Work and Managing Sickness Absence.
By organising our delivery through a managed programme we can:
- identify our target areas,
- work out what the contribution of different intervention strategies needs to be
- what resource this takes and,
- identify and measure initial outcomes such as behaviour change to help us assess whether we are on track before we get to the end of the PSA period.
