Health & Safety bodies may merge

 

[11th December 2006]

The Health and Safety Commission (HSC) today published a public consultation document seeking views on merging HSC and Health and Safety Executive (HSE) into a single health and safety authority.

The HSC believes that merger with HSE will modernise our corporate governance and provide a stronger voice for health and safety.

As part of this, the consultation discusses how the HSC would become the governing body of the new authority, retaining its current independence and links with stakeholders while strengthening its capacity to challenge and support delivery. Individuals suffering injury in accidents at work might be entitled to claim compensation

Recent studies have confirmed that the HSE has made great strides towards helping to make the UK on of the safest places to work in the world. By merging these two hugely influential bodies, it is hoped that the encouraging trend towards much safer and secure workplaces can continue.
