Businesses become REPutable
From 1st July 2008, Havant Borough Council will be participating
in a 12 month initiative called the Retail Enforcement Pilot
(REP).
The aim of this pilot project is to improve consumer and
employee protection by targeting high-risk and non-compliant
businesses whilst reducing the number of separate agencies that
inspect each business.
Environmental Health, Hampshire Trading Standards and Hampshire
Fire and Rescue Service will be the partners in this initiative,
looking at food safety, health and safety at work, fair trading and
fire safety respectively.
In this way, the
REP
allows officers to act as the
‘eyes and ears’ for their colleagues in other areas of regulation.
The agencies taking part in
REP
will continue to provide
specialist advice to businesses on request.
If you would like more details about
REP

Health on 023 9244 6654.
