The UK has one of the most dismissive attitudes to health and safety protections for workers in Europe, a new IER report reveals.<br>
<br>
The impact of its 40-year campaign of resistance, derision and misrepresentation of health and safety law is now leading to tragic outcomes in the fight against Covid-19. <br>
<br>
Despite having taken a leading role in the development and support of international labour law in the first half of the 20th Century, the UK’s commitment to ILO health and safety standards exceeds only that of Romania and Estonia among all EU Member States.<br>
<br>
In <em><a href="https://www.ier.org.uk/product/international-health-and-safety-standards-after-brexit/" style="mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #007C89;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;">International health and safety standards after Brexit</a></em>, authors Dr Andrew Moretta and Professor David Whyte – both of the University of Liverpool – find that in terms of support for international health and safety standards, the UK government is on a par with the governments of Saudi Arabia, North Macedonia and Cameroon.<br>
<br>
Each of these countries has ratified just six of the 36 up-to-date health and safety Conventions put forth by the United Nations’ International Labour Organisation (ILO) – fewer than one in five.
