Claims of offshore safety improvements based on "misrepresentation" of data
Article Abstract:
A book says improvements in offshore oil industry safety measures are misleading. The authors claim the UK Offshore Operators Assn has distorted the accident data and that offshore operations should be considered one of the country's most dangerous industries. They also contend that post-1992 data is too inconclusive to substantiate the impact of improved safety procedures. The book, "Paying for the Piper," also traces the increase in the industry's fatal and serious accidents over a thirty year period.

Union launches bid to put safety and the environment onto Works Council agenda
Article Abstract:
A model safety, health and environmental matters clause has been proposed by a UK union, which also wants to push such issues on the European Works Councils' (EWCs) agendas. Trade union T&G wants EWCs to monitor safety issues as part of their employee consultation duties. Over 1,200 companies, representing 15 mil workers, have to establish EWCs under the EWCs Directive. The proposed model clause is included.
