Unsafe workplaces could still put lives at risk, unions warn
Businesses could be significantly under-reporting the number of work-related Covid deaths to the government’s safety watchdog, new research suggests.
Forthcoming analysis by the TUC shows employers have notified the Health and Safety Executive of 387 work-related Covid deaths since April 2020 even though the Office for National Statistics has identified 15,263 people of working age who died from Covid over the same period.
