UNISON believes health and safety in the workplace is an issue for everyone.
Every year, thousands of people suffer accidents and ill-health at work - most of which could be avoided.
Unions and health and safety laws save and protect lives. But many more could be protected from harm if health and safety laws were better enforced.
We are campaigning for a new way of working, one that guarantees every worker a safe and healthy workplace.
