RoSPA Scotland Congress told safety is a moral right

摘要

Danny Carrigan OBE, chair of the Partnership on Health and Safety in Scotland, told delegates at the RoSPA Scotland Occupational Safety and Health at Work Congress that an overly-prescriptive approach to the prevention of accidents and ill health is not the way to reduce the number of work-related deaths and injuries.rnIn his keynote address, Mr Carrigan said: "The more we allow ourselves to get diverted into a prescriptive approach, the more we risk reinforcing the notion that health and safety is about paperwork, bureaucracy and box-ticking - about doing the bare minimum that we need to do - and not about thinking ahead and getting the job done safely, which is what we are all about in reality."
