Worker safety 'being put at risk' BBC NEWS | UK | Scotland
Worker and public safety is being put at risk, claims the STUC
Employees are being put at risk by a lack of workplace visits from safety inspectors, a report has claimed.
The Scottish Trade Union Congress (STUC) - whose report coincides with National Inspection Day - is urging employers to check for hazards.
It found 39% of workplaces with union safety reps had never been inspected by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) or an environmental health officer.
Only 42% of companies had involved reps - despite a legal requirement to do so.
The STUC also found that 11% of workplaces surveyed had not been inspected for more than three years.
Nearly 40% of safety reps were aware an inspector had visited their place of work but had not been spoken to during the visit.------------------------------------------- posted 6:48 AM :: reference link ::
