CUTTING HEALTH & SAFETY LAWS<br />

WILL HURT US ALL<br />

STOP IT, YOU'RE KILLING US!<br />

Our health and safety is under attack and we must defend it! The government believes<br />

that health and safety is a burden on business. It is putting <strong>the</strong> safety and health of<br />

Britain’s workers under threat, by trying to slash <strong>the</strong> laws that protect you, cut enforcement<br />

and inspection and make it harder to win compensation for injuries.<br />

These proposed cuts are not inevitable. North West trade unions, safety campaigners and<br />

<strong>the</strong> TUC want proper legal protection for all those in work, a strong HSE, and a right to<br />

seek justice if things go wrong.<br />

Never has <strong>the</strong> message been more important than now. Let’s ensure that we make it clear<br />

that we want clear commitments and action from those who should be protecting us.<br />
