When it comes to health and safety, the GMB’s reputation is
second to none, with experts at all levels of the organisation. Independent studies have shown that the training support and
information provided for all our representatives has significantly decreased accidents and ill health at work.
How do we do this?
GMB representatives are encouraged to work with employers
on health and safety issues with a particular focus on working to achieve solutions to the problems.
Whatever health and safety problems you have,
the health & safety department can assist you. If we don’t have a specific leaflet or publication on the issue,
we will get back to you with information and advice.
