Our Health and Safety commitment
At Community we believe that every person has a right to live and work in a safe environment free from dangers and hazards. The health and safety of our members and their families in workplaces and communities across the country is at the forefront of our union's work.
Our Health and Safety Representatives work tirelessly to improve our members' working conditions on a day to day basis. This essential and rewarding work is supported by an ongoing programme of learning through events, conferences and training.
Community offers a wide range of training and advice for members as well as extensive support and training for our Health and Safety Representatives so they can continually improve their work and your working conditions.
But in some places, poor working conditions are still causing chronic illnesses, disease and even death for thousands of workers every year. Through campaigning for better legislation to protect workers, Community constantly strives to put a stop to these life shattering experiences.
