In July 1999, the Commission published a Consultation Document to mark its 25 th anniversary with the title Revitalising Health and Safety . Christopher Gifford, a retired HM Inspector of Mines and Quarries, and consultant engineer, examines some of the successes and failures of the last 25 years of health and safety regulation.
Failure is as much deserving of attention as success if future success is to be assured.
He argues that not all the changes in the world of work have been beneficial and many of those that have been detrimental are not inevitable and can be reversed. Bulk copies of this, and subsequent pamphlets are available from Socialist Renewal, Russell House, Bulwell Lane, Nottingham. Smaller quantities may be purchased at 2 each plus 50p towards postage.
