Health And Safety (Offences) Act 2008 (EDM619)

Health And Safety (Offences) Act 2008

EDM number 619 in 2008-09, proposed by Laura Moffatt on 28/01/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Industrial health and safety.

That this House notes that each of the 229 workplace deaths in 2008 was a personal tragedy and that the 299,000 injuries at work represent a wholly unacceptable toll; welcomes the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health event on 20 January 2009 to discuss the Health and Safety (Offences) Act 2008 which received Royal Assent on 16 October 2008; recognises that the Act sends an important message to those who break the law, enabling sentences to be set at a level more commensurate with the severity of the offence and to deter those employers who may not otherwise take their health and safety management responsibilities seriously; and urges all hon. Members to support the Act, seeking to help prevent needless work-related injury, ill-health and death for employees and members of the public and to ensure that health and safety offences are treated as seriously as other breaches.

This motion has been signed by a total of 49 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
