Safety reps training Hazards Magazine issue 86
Union safety reps have a dramatic, positive impact on safety at work - and the more training they get, the more marked the 'union safety effect.' Hazards reports how the union training on your doorstep and now in cyberspace can be a workplace lifesaver.

The presence of union safety reps prevents thousands of major injuries at work every year (Hazards 78). And there's an army of them out there - over 320,000 trade union safety reps have been trained by TUC Education and 10,000 more are trained each year.

Dangerous employers can face a safety double whammy - safety is a subject on which trade union reps spend more time than any other, and it is an issue, opinion polls indicate, that is considered one of the key areas people at work regard as a legitimate topic for trade union action.
