HSE website lays foundations for workplace safety
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has launched a new web page that enables employees to gain rapid access to essential information about their health and safety rights and responsibilities.
Described as a first port of call at the HSE Open Government website, the ‘Workers Web Page’ aims to put access to relevant information at everyone’s fingertips, and includes links to the TUC website and to HSE’s InfoLine contact centre. Modelled on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) site in the United States, the website is designed to improve the way in which HSE communicates with the workforce and their representatives.
It also marks the first stage in a programme to create access points on the website to meet the individual needs of HSE’s customers. Building on recent progress, a second gateway project will open up a ‘Small Firms Focus Point’ in the near future.
HSE Chair Bill Callaghan, said: “By reaching out to customers and explaining worker rights and responsibilities, we are laying a foundation of knowledge that will help to make our workplaces safer places to be. The Workers Web page is a valuable innovation and I commend its use”. (CL)
