Regular safety inspections, a maximum temperature in the workplace and far greater control of carcinogens are just some of the improvements that the TUC is calling for in its new ten point safety manifesto.
The report, Time for change, features ten key recommendations which the TUC believes, if implemented by a future government, could help turn around the UK’s poor safety record, and prevent a good many of the 20,000 workplace-related deaths which occur in the UK every year.
The TUC is also hoping its manifesto for change will make the case for good health and safety practice, in a climate where safety laws are increasingly seen by ministers as unnecessary burdens on business, and where spending cuts and changes in regulations are making it more difficult to police employers who play fast and loose with their employees’ safety.
