    UNION SAFETY REPS TOOLBOX Hazards Magazine, UK
    The reasons, roles and resources that mean trade union safety reps make work a whole lot safer

    Safety reps at work - The rights and roles of workplace safety reps around the world.

    Roving reps - What should unions do when a workplace hasn't got a workplace safety rep? Roving reps or Workplace Safety Advisers (WSAs) covering several workplaces could be the answer.

    Notices - Union inspection notices (UINs) and provisional improvement notices (PINs) are allowing union reps to take workplace safety enforcement into their own hands.

    Union effect - Hygienists might have a measure of it and doctors a diagnosis for it, but only workers with collective power have much chance of doing anything about workplace harm. Hazards shows how.
