CWU Issues Health And Safety Advice During And In The Aftermath Of Flooding Dave Joyce, CWU National Health, Safety & Environment Officer, has issued advice to the Union’s health & safety reps with regard to the current flooding due to adverse weather conditions throughout the UK. In his letter to branches (LTB115/14), he deals with the health and safety issues arising from the current flooding that is affecting parts of the UK. He also points out that: After the 2007 flooding, a number of fatalities arose, not as a direct result of the floods, but during the clean-up. It is therefore an important issue for any Safety Reps and Union Reps that have workplaces that have been affected by water damage. Containing a copy of the TUC's advice, the full LTB can be downloaded from this website. The detailed advice covers a number of aspects of dealing with flood water and the health andf safety implications: The LTB in full can be downloaded here and from the E-Library Database using search keyword: ‘flooding’ Source: CWU / Unionsafety |
