Safety reps bullied: survey The Age, Australia
One third of occupational health and safety representatives (OHS) say they have been bullied by management after raising health and safety issues, according to a survey.
The latest Victorian Trades Hall Council (VTHC) survey of more than 800 OHS representatives found that many had been pressured not to raise health and safety issues and were intimidated or bullied by their boss or management when they did.
VTHC secretary Leigh Hubbard said OHS representatives were on the 'frontline' of workplace safety.
'We have an obligation to ensure that they can carry on their important work free of intimidation and harassment,' Mr Hubbard said.
'Given that there have been 26 workplace fatalities this year alone and numerous injuries to boot, we must remain vigilant in ensuring all aspects of the OHS system are working and not one worker is worse off as a result of going to work.'------------------------------------------- posted 5:19 PM :: reference link ::
