HSE to name work fatalities on web

摘要

FOLLOWING a ruling by the Information Commissioner last year, the HSE has announced that it will publish on its website the names of people killed in workplace accidents. As well as the names and ages of the deceased, the executive will provide a brief description of the circumstances of fatal incidents and locations and dates. The change of policy, announced on 7 April, comes in the wake of an appeal by the Centre for Corporate Accountability (CCA) to the Information Commissioner to force the HSE to publish names once the coroner's inquest has opened. The CCA said the information would help it publicise the circumstances of fatalities and track how the enforcing bodies investigate them.
