Keeping members safe

Keeping members safe at work is one of the key aims of Usdaw. This involves everything from ensuring safe working practices and environments, safety training, ensuring the supply of personal protective equipment, and advising members and reps on all other aspects of safety at work.

Usdaw has thousands of trained safety reps across the UK who are instrumental in maintaining a safe workplace and who work with management to prevent accidents.

Health and safety experts

Usdaw also has experts in its Health and Safety Section at Head Office who, along with the Union’s network of Area Organisers, can also offer important safety advice and support to reps and members.
