Inspect your workplace on 20 October
2004
Health & Safety Week is promoted by the Health
and Safety Executive (HSE), and this year takes place between
18 - 24 October. Note this is a change from the Week publicised
in the 2004 UNISON diaries and year planners. However, this
should not inconvenience you too much.
If you are unable to participate during the revised Week, your
branch may, as we always advise, adopt another week which is more
convenient. Have you seen UNISON's special issue of Health and
Safety Organiser for Health and Safety Week 2004? Download
it in PDF format from the UNISON UK website.
As usual, this will fall on the Wednesday of the Week, Wednesday
20 October. The purpose is to encourage safety reps to carry
out their legal rights to inspect workplaces for health, safety,
and welfare problems. UNISON's guide Health and Safety Inspections
at Work (1939) explains exactly what those rights are. Draft inspection
report forms, draft letters to employers, and draft notices to
members are also available and will assist in carrying out inspections.
