Trow Quarry Report
Trow Quarry Report
After fourteen months of "finalising" the report from Highpoint Rendell (the consultants paid to do a health and safety risk assessment at Trow Quarry) the Council has now "negotiated" an agreed form of words which suit them. There actions are nothing short of a disgrace.
I work in the private sector and my employer, like many others, pays an outside consultant to conduct health and safety audits and risk assessments. When we get their reports they are acted upon immediately, if not, someone will lose their job, and you can bet that it won't be one of the consultants!
We don't complain or ask them to change their findings or opinions, or ask them to alter the wording of their report, we just get on doing what is required to make the area safe for ourselves and our visitors.
By acting as it has, South Tyneside Council has sacrificed the independence of Highpoint Rendell and coloured the final report with it's own themes
The consultants must feel that their integrity has been belittled and their report can no longer be viewed as "independant".
