Usdaw and Health & Safety

Usdaw believes that health and safety at work is a right not a privilege. But we know the only way to secure that right is to have an active network of health and safety reps working for members. This part of the web site is for those reps and all members interested in health and safety.

From here you can access useful guides, posters, etc in our safety rep toolkit, find out about common hazards; sign up for regular email alerts on H&S topics; and join our discussion forum for Usdaw H&S activists. Specialist assistance is available from the H&S Section in the Legal Department.
