HEALTH AND SAFETY AT WORK

Early day motion 997, tabled 20 April 2004 by Austin Mitchell (Labour). Signed by 79 members.

That this House expresses great concern that the 46 recommendations for improving health and safety at work contained in the HSC strategy statement, Revitalising Health and Safety, published in June 2000 have still not been implemented; is concerned that as a result many more employees have had to take time of sick, have been injured, have suffered permanent disablement and some have been killed at work; believes the failure to implement the recommendations in full has put hundreds of thousands of employees at greater risk of illness or injury; and consequently urges the Government to act speedily to address these concerns.
