Since the coming to power of the Conservative led Coalition government in 2010, the myth that workplace health and safety is only about red tape and is a barrier to productivity have been officially promulgated.

Concrete actions have also been taken to support this deregulatory and anti-worker agenda. HSE resources have been cut, workplace inspections slashed across much of the economy, important regulatory provisions have been repealed, and worker access to compensation for employer generated health and safety harms reduced.

At this conference, expert speakers from trade unions, academia and the legal profession provide an update on these problematic developments while also highlighting what can be done to reverse their harmful effects.

More specifically, those attending will hear contributions covering such issues as: the nature of HSE’s new strategy for workplace health and safety, how post-2010 governments have acted to reduce workplace inspections, worker experiences of pursuing claims for compensation, recent legislative changes, how other European countries approach the issue of health and safety inspection as well as workplace inspection, and developments in the construction industry relating to worker engagement and mental health.
