Work-related cancers will claim thousands of lives each year for a further working generation as a result of the “shocking complacency” of the government’s health and safety watchdog, a new report is warning. ‘Burying the evidence’ says the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has neither the resources nor the strategy to tackle the workplace carcinogen exposures killing at least 12,000 people each year.

Health & Safety - Rebuilding Workplace Organisation |

Written by Martin Wicks

Wednesday, 13 December 2006 |
As the latest TUC H&S survey shows, we do not have the strength to take
advantage of our legal rights in many workplaces. Whilst we must demand the
application of existing law, and seek to improve it, the trades unions need to
seriously discuss workplace H&S organisation. Too often it is considered as
a separate activity rather than one which is integrated into overall union
organisation.
Whilst there has been a significant move away from
'partnership' in a number of unions, this has yet to be applied to the H&S
sphere. We cannot strive to improve H&S whilst in alliance with employers to
'succeed' in the market place. We cannot collaborate with increased exploitation
of our labour without suffering the consequences in H&S.

Has safety had its chips? * Worst ever protection at work
HSE is broke
The official safety watchdog is broke, can’t do its job and is haemorrhaging staff. Hazards editor Rory O’Neill predicts over-stretched and under-protected workers will soon get sick of being fed the government’s healthy lifestyle and “work is good for you” line.
