This week (23 – 29 October) is health and safety week and the theme is ‘healthy workplaces for all ages’.
In the UK, we have laws around health and safety to be proud of – laws that save the lives of working people. But with an unacceptable number of people dying from work-related disease or accidents, we also have a long way to go.
The history of health and safety in the UK is a mixed bag – it’s full of successful trade union wins for better regulation, marked by terrible disasters that caused the needless death of workers.
See the timeline below to find out how we got to where we are with health and safety law.
The article From explosions to asbestos – the history of health and safety first appeared on the UNISON National site.
