Hazards
Campaign Charter
Health
and Safety Demands on the Government third edition 1999
Health and Safety An Agenda for ACTION Introduction to the third edition
The
third edition of the Hazards Charter, has been produced following
debate at the Tenth National Hazards Conference in Bristol, in March
1999 - nearly two years after the election of the present Labour government.
It includes additions and amendments made at that conference and sets
out an agenda for action into the next century. The Charter is a collective
statement of the aims and demands of the Hazards Campaign for a massive
improvement in occupational health and safety for all workers in the
UK.
It
is not a finished document, but an evolving document which reflects
the current concerns amongst activists regarding the hazards and health
and safety problems faced every day by people at work. Major changes
since the last edition include the key demand of Trade Union Safety
Representatives to have wider powers of inspection and authorisation
to impose Provisional Improvement Notices
