New accident book

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has published a revised version of the official accident book, which now allows safety reps to have access to the information they need to monitor accidents in their workplace.

TUC head of safety Hugh Robertson said: "We urge all safety representatives to encourage their employer to order the new accident book, which was developed with extensive input from the TUC. If any workplaces use their own accident book, it is important that they also ensure that safety representatives are automatically given access to all information from the book."

The Accident Book is available from HSE Books, price £4.75 - call 01787 8811653.
