The Wednesday of "European Health and Safety week" (25-29 October 2010) is also "National Health & Safety Inspection Day". All trade union safety reps are encouraged to carry out a safety inspection of their workplace with their local management on that day.
This year's theme for European Health & Safety week is "Maintenance" (click on word for TUC guide).
Even if you are not trained (yet) as an appointed trade union safety representative encourage your line manager to walk around your workplace with you, look out for obvious danagers such as trip hazards and speak to staff and ask if they have any safety issues or concerns.
