Posted By Bob Howden Has anybody got any up to date information on Action Point 13? I'm looking for any useful contacts or reference points/documents to help me substantiate the justification for starting work on this report. Regards Bob Howden

Posted By John Dodson I am not so sure the lack of response on this issue is because safety professionals in public bodies have little idea about the importance of Revitalising; certainly my own contacts with colleagues in public bodies would suggest otherwise. I have heard, but not at first hand, that the DETR intends issuing guidance on what should be included in such reports. I think this would be a helpful step forward so that we are at least all singing from the same hymn sheet. Has anyone any further information on this? For my own part, I do agree that Revitalising is an important document particularly for public bodies (which are expected "to improve their own performance as an employer, to demonstrate excellence in health and safety management as a model for other to follow.”). I have prepared a report for my organisation’s Corporate Management Team with a series of recommendations. One recommendation obviously includes AP13 (I have also informed the senior manager responsible for the annual report). I am anxious that the report is seen not as the Health and Safety Adviser’s report but as the organisation’s report therefore whilst I am happy to advise on its content I want it to be “owned” by senior management. Has anyone heard of any progress on AP12 – The Health and Safety checklist for circulation to all public bodies? Will completion be mandatory? John Dodson
