SAFETY AND HEALTH AT WORK
A STRONG LABOUR INSPECTION IS ESSENTIAL

Everyday thousands of workers all over the world are killed and invalidated at the working places. A strong and consequent labour inspection that controls the worst working places is of primary importance, especially where unions are weak or non-existent! Let us exchange information about labour inspection:John Graversgaard.

REPORTS ON WORKERS HEALTH AND EXPLOITATION

CONSERVATIVE ATTACK ON HSE: Conservatives in Great Britain promise to use inspection opt-outs to ‘tame’ HSE. Fewer than 1 in every 15 major injuries at work now result in a Health and Safety Executive (HSE) investigation. Justice suffers too, with absolutely no HSE enforcement action in almost 98 per cent of cases. But Tory plans to give firms a get-out-of-jail card could make a bad situation much, much worse, Hazards editor Rory O’Neill warns.

    • HOPE FOR CHANGE IN US: While OSHA, since its inception, has never been adequately funded or staffed, the administration of the agency under Bush was particularly devastating. With Obama as new president there is a new mobilization for a more efficient OSHA.

    • CHILD LABOUR: Child labour is now widely recognised as a global issue. Many countries have adopted ILO Convention 182 on eliminating the worst forms of child labour, and labour inspectorates now integrate relevant activities within their own work programmes. However, there is a need for more information and assistance on this subject in order for labour inspectorates to deal with the challenges effectively.
