Institute Of Occupational Safety And Health

EDM number 234 in 2007-08, proposed by Michael Clapham on 13/11/2007.

That this House is concerned that in the last year there were 212 workplace fatalities and that 328,000 people were seriously injured; is conscious that accidents at work and ill health cost society up to £31 billion a year; is alarmed that people without experience or qualifications can start up as a safety and health adviser; is troubled that a lack of clarity about competent safety and health advice can put people at an even greater risk in the workplace; and welcomes the call by the Institute of Occupational Safety and Health for the Government to bring forward measures to regulate the health and safety profession.
