Posted By Cath Wilson Apart from being a H&S Advisor I’m also a governor at a local primary school. we have recently had an asset survey against the DDA with regard to our access/egress around school. This has made me interested in the issue of is there a conflict between H&S & the DDA and I have started looking into this with the aim of doing a talk to some colleagues in the near future. I would be interested/grateful for any experience you might have had in your employee as H&S advisors and how you worked towards a satisfactory solution. Any thought would be gratefully received. CFW

Posted By Kieran J Duignan Cath The DRC emphasise that it is the responsibility of every employer and service provider to conduct a documented assessment of risks of physical injury or psychological strain or exclusion to employees or customers arising from the physical and cogntive environments of workplaces and places that serve the public. Where a 'conflict' areas, the employer or service provider is obliged to either provide an appropriate adaptation or alternative or prepare to justify in court the 'reasonable' grounds for not doing so.
