WORKERS' MEMORIAL DAY AND DE-REGULATION OF HEALTH AND SAFETY

EDM number 1099 in 1993-94, proposed by Robert Parry on 21/04/1994.

That this House congratulates the organisers of the Workers' Memorial Day on 28th April to remember those killed, injured or made ill by their work and to seek improvements in health and safety at work; condemns the current proposals by the Government to deregulate in this area as they ignore the burden on families and friends of those killed and injured and the cost of occupational ill health, estimated as between ú10 billion and ú15 billion annually; notes that in the past 10 years 13,000 workers in the construction industry have died in so-called accidents on site and that over 3,000 people die of asbestos-related diseases every year; calls for strengthened health and safety laws and greater powers of enforcement for the Health and Safety Executive; and calls on the Government and all employers to recognise their responsibility to eliminate all unnecessary deaths, injuries and illness (Relevant registered interest declared).

This motion has been signed by a total of 97 MPs.
