City of Wolverhampton Council has signed an agreement to mark a new partnership with Trade Unions to encourage the importance of health and safety in the workplace. In developing the agreement, the council recognises the benefits of having trained trade union safety representatives to promote good health and safety practice in the workplace, reduce injury and illness.
Adrian Turner, Unison Branch Secretary of the Unison City of Wolverhampton Branch said: “Unison welcomes the new Health and Safety partnership agreement with the City of Wolverhampton Council. With the ever-changing nature of work there are no grounds for complacency because the changes often present new dangers and challenges. It is in the interest of employees and the employer to make all workplaces safe and to follow good Health and Safety practises, including regular inspections and risk assessments. Unison’s trained Health and Safety representatives look forward to working in partnership with the Council in achieving this aim.”
