HEALTH and safety are at the core of everything we do as a trade union. Transport workers play a vital role in keeping our communities moving. However, many still face unacceptable risks, including workplace violence and hazardous conditions.
RMT is committed to ensuring that all transport staff can work safely and with dignity, and we believe that stronger protections are needed to achieve this.
That is why we are bringing together safety representatives from across the country for our Health & Safety Advisory Conference. This important event provides a platform for trade union activists, legal experts and campaigners to examine the current challenges facing transport workers and to push for practical solutions that will make workplaces safer.
