Health And Safety

UNISON believes health and safety in the workplace is an issue for everyone.

Every year, thousands of people suffer accidents and ill-health at work - most of which could be avoided.

Unions and health and safety laws save and protect lives. But many more could be protected from harm if health and safety laws were better enforced.

UNISON is at the forefront of major campaigns on stress, repetitive strain injury, back pain and violence. We are campaigning for a new way of working, one that guarantees every worker a safe and healthy workplace.

UNISON's national website has a lot more information about health and safety generally

If you work for Essex County Council there is information on the Intranet at the Working Here section (we can't put in a direct link from an external website like this.)

If you work for another employer or cannot access the intranet please contact the Branch office
