Martin John Docherty – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Defence

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Martin John Docherty on 2015-11-16.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent health and safety checks for civilian personnel have been carried out at Faslane Naval Base.

Mark Lancaster

The health and safety management arrangements at Faslane are comprehensive and multi-layered with all staff empowered to intervene or stop work when unsure about any aspect of working practices. This is supported by a wide range of routine risk assessments, inspections and audits conducted by both an internal assurance team and external regulators.
