Health & Safety Week 2004  

 

Logo
Health and Safety Week and
UNISON's National Inspection Day 2004
More details..

Inspect your workplace on 20 October 2004

Health & Safety Week is promoted by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), and this year takes place between 18 - 24 October. Note this is a change from the Week publicised in the 2004 UNISON diaries and year planners. However, this should not inconvenience you too much.

If you are unable to participate during the revised Week, your branch may, as we always advise, adopt another week which is more convenient. Have you seen UNISON's special issue of Health and Safety Organiser for Health and Safety Week 2004? Download it in PDF format from the UNISON UK website.

As usual, this will fall on the Wednesday of the Week, Wednesday 20 October. The purpose is to encourage safety reps to carry out their legal rights to inspect workplaces for health, safety, and welfare problems. UNISON's guide Health and Safety Inspections at Work (1939) explains exactly what those rights are. Draft inspection report forms, draft letters to employers, and draft notices to members are also available and will assist in carrying out inspections.
