Health And Safety At Work(2)
EDM number 1076 in 2003-04, proposed by Wayne David on 28/04/2004.
That this House notes that over 70 per cent. of the 44 action points for improving health and safety at work contained in the Health and Safety Commission strategy, Revitalising Health and Safety, published in June 2000, have now been achieved; welcomes the fact that the number of workers fatally injured fell by 10 per cent. in 2002-03, to 226, and that the fatal and major injury rate is broadly steady; believes that the United Kingdom has the best health and safety record in Europe; further welcomes the role that has been played by the Health and Safety Executive and Government, trade unions and employers in achieving this record; further believes, however, that fatal or major injuries remain a serious concern; and therefore supports the new Health and Safety Commission strategy to 2010 and beyond, published in February, which aims to make this a cornerstone of a civilised society and lead the world in workplace health and safety.
This motion has been signed by a total of 43 MPs.
