Trade union health and safety representatives play a crucial role in ensuring the well-being of workers in various industries. They are responsible for identifying and addressing potential hazards in the workplace, as well as advocating for better safety measures to protect employees. To help these representatives in their important work, we have created The Complete Handbook for Trade Union Health and Safety Representatives.
This comprehensive handbook covers a wide range of topics related to health and safety in the workplace, including risk assessment, accident prevention, emergency procedures, and more. It serves as a valuable resource for trade union representatives looking to improve safety standards and protect the rights of workers.
| Topic | Statistics |
|---|---|
| Workplace Injuries | According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 2.8 million nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses reported in 2019. |
| Fatalities | The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) reported 5,333 workplace fatalities in 2019. |
| Safety Violations | OSHA conducted 33,401 inspections in 2019 and found 58,758 violations of safety regulations. |
By arming trade union health and safety representatives with the knowledge and tools provided in The Complete Handbook, we aim to reduce these alarming statistics and create safer work environments for all employees.
Stay tuned for more updates and resources to support the important work of trade union health and safety representatives. Together, we can make a difference in workplace safety!
