A damning occupational health and safety report has revealed how a “lack of structure and systems poses risk of serious harm” for Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board staff.
The report, presented to the board’s meeting on Thursday, highlighted “serious concern over the management of key areas” concerning staff safety.
It said the failures have left the board open to “enforcement action, prosecution and fines for the most serious offences” and calls for a “fundamental shift in the safety culture”.
Despite a catalogue of faults in how it manages health and safety, violence on health board premises is following a worrying trend.
