Coalition for better safety standards

Fifty people attended a meeting called jointly by the TUC and the Campaign for Corporate Accountability (CCA) to launch a new campaign to improve workplace safety standards.

The campaign brings together trade unions, safety organisations and bereaved families (from both work-related deaths and disasters) into a coalition demanding government action on a core set of safety demands including legally binding duties on company directors and a new law on corporate killing.

Other organizations in the campaign include: Disaster Action, Safety on Trains Action Group, Hazards campaign, Construction Safety Campaign, INQUEST, Pesticide Action Network (UK), the Simon Jones Memorial Campaign and the United Friends and Families Campaign.
