Health And Safety Fringe Meeting Today At Conference

The  CWU Annual Conference 2017 Health and Safety Fringe Meeting is being held at lunchtime today (24th April) at the Union's conference held in Bournemouth

Guest speaker is Professor Steve Tombs of the Open University.

He is the author of the ground-breaking research publication “Better Regulation-Better For Who” Steve revealed some shocking facts and findings:-

• 29,000 UK annual deaths from airborne pollution.
• 1 million annual food borne illnesses resulting in 20,000 hospital admissions and 500 deaths.
• 50,000 deaths a year from work related injuries and health problems.

His publication breaks the silence, reflecting the Centre For Crime and Justice Studies commitment to informing public understanding of the role and limitations of criminal justice processes, the impact of deregulation, lack of enforcement, enforcement cuts at the HSE and LAs, the impact of outsourcing and privatisation and offers ideas on how the problems may be reduced and best regulated.

Between 100 – 150 delegates attend the popular H&S Fringe Meeting at CWU Conference every year.
