Revitalised Prospects For Safety And Health
EDM number 1424 in 2002-03, proposed by Michael Clapham on 17/06/2003.
That this House is concerned to learn that the HSE is facing a 10 per cent. cut in funding over the next three years; is further concerned that it will impact detrimentally on workplace safety by causing the retirement and non replacement of 50 staff this financial year, from the Field Operations Directorate and will probably cut 5,000 workplace inspections each year; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to meaningfully revitalise the safety and health at work agenda by doubling the number of field inspectors so that each workplace can be inspected at least once every five years and new workplaces can be visited in their first year, supported by more investment in scientific research and policy expertise to back up the HSE investigations into deaths and injuries at work.
This motion has been signed by a total of 87 MPs.
