- Carried
This 2018 WET Conference is aware of the disturbing number of accidents/incidents/near misses that continue to occur year on year in the Water Industry.
One undeniable root cause is reducing staffing levels to the bare minimum as part of a risk management strategy which must continue to be opposed by UNISON.
This Conference calls on the WET SGE to work with UNISON’s National Health & Safety Unit to undertake a safety review within the Water Industry which should include an analysis of accident statistics identifying root causes and to find any common themes to then organise an appropriate campaign highlighting the findings.
