The election debate is ignoring the dire state of workplace health and safety, in which lawbreaking by employers is rife, harm caused by work far greater than reported, where enforcement has virtually collapsed, and while employers externalise the £30 billion burden of their law breaking on to us, directors are largely unaccountable for their actions and decisions. Yet the three biggest party manifestos have nothing positive to say about making workers safer but there are negative proposals about reducing the ‘burden of regulations’ on business. They grossly underestimate the total harm done by work; the real cost and who pays it; the collapse in enforcement or the need to support the life saving work of trade unions and safety reps.
