Motion 59
Scottish Commission on Health & Safety
“That this Congress calls on the General Council to lobby the Scottish Government to establish a standing Scottish Commission on Health and Safety. The Commission should report to the Scottish Parliament and make recommendations to the Scottish Government. It would be a vehicle for monitoring Scotland’s health and safety performance and comparing it with the rest of the UK. It would be a vehicle for monitoring standards in all industrial sectors. It would be a transition arrangement until Health and Safety matters are devolved to Scotland.
“The Commission should include regular, annual or biannual, reviews, involving evidence from the Health and Safety Executive, Local Authority Environmental Health officers, trade unions, and other organisations.”
