Abstract
It is not our intention here to provide a historical review of the involvement of trade unions in improving health and safety, some indications of which are provided by other authors (for example, Weindling 1985; Bartrip and Burman 1983). But before looking in detail at the effectiveness of specific arrangements for representation in health and safety at the workplace, it is important to recognise that organised labour operates at a number of levels to make workplaces safer (Mishel and Walters 2003).
