A serious workplace accident is a tragic thing, especially if it was preventable, and whilst politicians, media and those with liability may bemoan the existence of no win no fee litigation, it has to be argued that if adequate risk assessment was completed and good working practice monitored and carried out at all times, then many of those shocking court cases for seven figure settlements would not have come about in the first place.
In November 2008, YouGov research commissioned by the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) revealed British attitudes to health and safety in the workplace and showed Scottish workers to be the most likely of all UK employees to report unsafe working conditions and/or practice.
According to the poll, which questioned employed adults from across Britain, 75% of Scots were prepared to go to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) or tell a senior member of staff of any perceived dangerous working practice, as opposed to 62% in other parts of the UK.
Scottish working adults were also shown to see health and safety as more important than workers in the South of England, and less likely than Londoners to view health and safety as "silly laws form Europe".
Scottish respondents were found to be more aware of who was responsible for health and safety at their workplace than other workers in Britain.
The president of IOSH, Nattasha Freeman, commented, 'Health and safety' is sometimes blamed for banning such things as sack races in schools, Christmas decorations and even children's conker games. Now IOSH is hosting this debate at the Scottish Parliament to get the issues, including those in the workplace, out in the open.
"The stereotype of health and safety professionals wanting to ban everyday activities is a myth that we want to bust. The cotton wool culture' doesn't do anyone any favours either and could actually make young people less able to deal with risk when they grow up."
