The article presents a detailed study of engineering firms in Great Britain to explore the ways in which trade unions organize and act on health and safety questions. It was through the union form of collective organization that many workers began to seek relief from danger and work-related ill-health. Many people in the labor movement, unions and their parliamentary counterparts, campaigned for legislation to deal with ill-health and danger at workplace. The Health and Safety at Work Act was passed in 1974 that laid down the guidelines for the procedures that have been followed ever since. It provided a broad framework for the regulation of health and safety at work, defining workplaces, imposing requirements and the provision for health and safety activity. The Safety Representatives and Safety Committee Regulations was enacted in the year 1978. They recognized workplace union representatives on health and safety as one partner in the process of self-regulation. |
