Government moving in the right direction on workplace safety, says TUC 

Responding to new guidelines on workplace safety published today (Monday), TUC General Secretary Frances O’Grady said:  

“These safety guidelines are a step in the right direction.  
 

“All employers must now carry out and publish risk assessments in consultation with unions and their workforces. 

“After the confusion of the last few days working people will only feel confident if government and employers act now to make safer working a reality in every workplace.   

“Getting this right is in the national interest. If rogue employers cut corners it puts us all at risk of another spike in infections. 

“And government must get to grips with the ongoing crisis in PPE, as more workers start to require it.”
