Consultation on Improving Worker Involvement in Health and Safety
On 24th April the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) issued a Consultative Document to seek views on how to encourage, improve and increase worker involvement in health and safety risk management.
The Consultative Document suggests that there are three pillars to the strategy to increase workers’ participation in managing health and safety: legislation; guidance and encouragement. It sets out the current position and options to strengthen each of the pillars, including possible amendments to the law on consultation with employees. It invites comments on these options and any new ideas that have not been considered.
The consultation is open to 8th September 2006.
