| Health
Safety & Welfare Structure
The FBU like
other trade unions establishes and maintains specialist
reps within the workplace to deal with Health, Safety
and Welfare issues. The authority of these reps is derived
from the Health, Safety and Welfare at Work Act 1974
and the Safety Reps, Safety Commitee Regulations 1977.
These representatives
work within a seperate structure that is integrated
into the wider FBU organisation at every level. Each
Brigade Committee appoints bi-annually the Brigade Health
& Safety Rep. Each branch can appoint a Health &
Safety Rep, and where possible each watch is encouraged
to have a rep. |
