Health and Safety is the focus of this episode of the POA podcast. Deputy General Secretary Joe Simpson together with Assistant General Secretaries Mick Pimblett and Andy Baxter discuss the Health and Safety protocol with HMPPS that allows union members to respond to dangerous incidents without facing the possibility of being charged with inducing unlawful industrial action.  There is also an in-depth look at Risk Assessments,  the role of Union Safety Representatives and safety inspections, the importance of reporting “near  miss” events, and the vital role of Regime Management Plans.
