- Motion text
Improving our members' working environment is a UCU priority. As recent national surveys have shown they face an epidemic of stress and bullying and other health and safety challenges.
Congress welcomes the improvement in support to health and safety representatives since merger but believes further development is essential. Congress therefore calls for:
1. FEC and HEC to oversee a strategy for developing health and safety organisation and work
2. increased dedicated national health and safety staffing
3. a continued regional training programme for safety reps
4. the establishment of, and support for, regional H and S networks
5. Where there is more than one health and safety representative in branches/LA's, there should be a gender balance and UCU should positively promote access for women to health and safety courses. '
