While being a trade union safety rep is definitely not a glamorous role, most people realise it is not a joke if you have to work outside a properly equipped office and/or suffer from many disabilities and don't have ready access to a toilet or are not allowed sufficient time to go to the loo! (thinking Sports Direct warehouses).
At my work UNISON colleagues and myself have signed up to this campaign. We have contacted our employer health & safety team and other activists to try and carry out inspections during this TUC campaign.
I would encourage other union safety reps to do the same.
Do you have good enough toilets and toilet breaks? |

All workers need toilet breaks – it's a basic right. But many are denied this due to insufficient breaks and facilities.
To highlight the issue, we're inviting safety reps to carry out a workplace toilet inspection in the week of 17 – 23 March. We’ll be lifting the lid on what needs improving, and how unions are best placed to understand and advocate for safer workplaces.
Sign up below to take part, and we’ll send you all the info you need, including a checklist. If you carry out an inspection and tell us about it, you’ll receive a TUC Education credentials that recognises what you've done. Read more about TUC credentials.
We are expecting hundreds of you to collectively take part in this inspections week of action - get involved!
