HSC Welcomes Working for a Healthier Tomorrow Report

The National Director for Health and Work, Dame Carol Black yesterday published the first ever review into the health of the working age population - Working for a Healthier Tomorrow.

In response to the report, Judith Hackitt, Chair of the Health and Safety Commission said,

"I welcome the report by Dame Carol and the Health and Safety Executive looks forward to playing its part in preparing the Government's response. The Health and Safety Executive has been involved in the evidence gathering stages of the process and see this report as another key step in continuing to raise the importance of the subjects of health and work.

The challenge now lies in not only deciding what should be done in response but who is best placed to deliver on the various elements. HSE will be keen to underline the role it plays in prevention of injury and ill health due to work."
