The most important source of health and safety information for H&S reps and officers. The Organiser comes out every two months and gives up-to-date information on health and safety issues and includes a one-page special feature covering a topical health and safety issue.

Health & Safety guides
Cover a wide range of topics from Safer Driving at Work to Sickness Absence Control Measures. These are also available direct from the Health and Safety Unit.

Health & Safety leaflets and posters
Aimed at all members on everything from women's health and safety in the workplace to smoking at work and reporting hazards.

Health & Safety Bulletins
Sent direct to branch H&S officers. Supplements which may have been sent out with the original bulletin will not normally be included in PDF format here.

Health & Safety Reports

Organising for Health & Safety pack
This new pack suggests ways in which branches can review their effectiveness on health and safety issues. It encourages the development of a realistic action plan for recruiting and developing health and safety reps. The pack is designed to be used alongside the branch development and organisation tool kit.
