- Decision
- Carried
This conference notes the ever-increasing need for safety improvements in the WET sector.
Yorkshire Water Branch would like the sector to adopt the approach being taking at Kelda where we have formed a health and safety representative’s standby rota.
It has been designed for union health and safety reps to get called out to investigate significant near misses, accidents and incidents anytime during a 24-hour period.
This conference calls upon the service group executive to:
1. Consult with Yorkshire Water branch to determine best practice.
2. Launch an action plan to assist branches to adopt similar arrangements where appropriate.
