Nobody Goes to work to Die - Some health and safety basics
* you have a right to join a trade union.
* that trade union should organise to protect your health and safety.
* you should not be sacked or penalised in anyway for raising safety concerns.
* the trade union members you work beside will protect you more than the boss, if you work together on safety.
* it is better to have a trade union safety rep as your first port of call than to try to rely on a safety specialist: a manager or consultant or so-called “expert”.
* you will probably never see an official inspector .
* if you do see an official inspector, sadly, it will probably be because someone has been killed or there has been a very dangerous incident.
* for your protection, don’t do anything you think is dangerous that you are not trained to do – you have a right to information, instruction and training on all significant hazards.
* if you think something is dangerous and could result in serious injury or death to you or someone else DON’T DO IT until you, and preferably a trained health and safety representative, are satisfied safe procedures have been put in place, risks have been brought under control.
