Workers Memorial Day - Send a message to your MP
20 April 2007

In the UK hundreds of people are killed every year in the workplace and thousands die from occupational diseases such as mesothelioma. Urgent action is required to reverse these trends.
This years them is “Inspection and enforcement”. It is timely because the HSE is in crisis and hundreds of factory inspector jobs are likely to be cut. You cna make a difference by writing to your MP to enlist their support for campaigning for safer and healthier workplaces and in getting WMD formally recognised by the government.
