New flexible working legislation – what does it mean?
Non-compliant PPE still a serious problem, experts say
BSIF CEO Alan Murray to retire
Once again this government and this Prime Minister are showing how out of touch with reality they are. It’s alright removing certain pieces of legislation that are outdated and irrelevant, that’s just pruning to keep the system healthy, but to remove the duty of the self-employed is a kick in the head for all those who have worked hard in the past to ensure that the workplace is as safe as it can be.
This is another attempt by the Prime Minister to hit the headlines and glean votes and popularity so he can stay in power for another four years and has very little to do with health and safety red tape. There are a great many self-employed traders in the UK who have a total disregard for not only their safety but that of others safety as it is. As a consultant and safety trainer I have seen the results of certain self- employed tradesmen’s actions with regards health and safety and the effects it has had on the client and general public. We need to embrace with open arms a health and safety culture and nurture and help it develop and grow it in the workplace
As the instigator of such an irresponsible policy perhaps the government should be prosecuted under corporate manslaughter legislation in the future, when (not if) the worst happens?
