- Decision
- Carried
Whilst this Conference welcomes improvements to sites including making welfare facilities of an acceptable standard basic site Health and Safety issues shouldn’t be forgotten about during the duration of such work.
It came to light on some but not all sites that were being improved in United Utilities that lighting and signage on emergency routes and exits were not being provided for the duration of the works.
This Conference asks the WET Executive to devise a checklist for Branches in this regard which should include reference to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 which will assist UNISON members remaining safe during such improvement works.
