  • Risk, Responsibility and Robens: the Transformation of the British System of Occupational Health and Safety Regulation, 1961–1974
    Risk, Responsibility and Robens: The Transformation of the British System of Occupational Health and Safety Regulation, 1961–1974 Christopher Sirrs Over the last twenty years, three short words have come to dominate many discussions about the control of risks: ‘health and safety’. In colloquial use, the term embodies a multitude of concerns about the impact of everyday actions on the bodies and minds of individuals; it also commonly conflates what are often separate areas of statutory regulation, particularly road safety, food safety and environmental regulations. Together with two other words often uttered in the same sentence, ‘gone mad’, ‘health and safety’ is often used as a kind of shorthand for bureaucracy, and the whole gamut of rules and regulations that have evolved in response to the risks of everyday life.1 The equation of ‘health and safety’ with protective rules and regulations in general may not be (for want of a better word) accidental, since over the last fifty years in Britain and other industrialized countries, regulatory systems addressing the ‘health and safety’ of workers and other key groups, such as the public, have undergone a period of unprecedented expansion. Universal legislative protection has been extended to employees against the risks of work, whilst occupational safety legislation has become decentred from its historic focus, the workplace, to address the impact of work on the wider public and environment. New regulatory agencies, such as Britain’s Health and Safety Executive (HSE), have been established with the dedicated aim of protecting people from risk, while the health and safety of workers has been given explicit recognition in the legislation underpinning the European Union.

  • Background and Context
    Background and Context On 21 October, 1966 Tip No 7 which forms part of the main complex of tips at Aberfan slipped and descended upon part of the village killing 116 children and 29 adults. The tragedy occurred just after nine o’clock in the morning under circumstances which apparently precluded the issue of warning. The presence of a mountain mist obscured the cascading torrent of slag so that, except for an ominous rumble, the villagers were unaware of the catastrophic fate which was about to overtake them. To make matters worse the roaring torrent burst the water main in the disused canal and several million gallons of water were released converting the slag into slurry or a muddy slime. Immediately in the path of the torrent was the junior school which was attended by pupils in the age range five to eleven years and classes had already begun. The school received the direct impact of the rolling mass and it was not long before the slurry found entry into the school through windows, doors and other apertures caused by the effect of the damage. Some account of what followed has been given by those who survived the disaster and it seems that, with the total unexpectedness of such an onslaught and the attendant delay in realising what was happening, there was naturally a time lag between the engulfing of the school and the attempts by those inside to escape or to take measures of safety. Nearby was the senior school which was attended by pupils in the age range eleven to fifteen years.

  • A Selection of Technical Reports Submitted to the Aberfan Tribunal
    Welsh Office A Selection of Technical Reports Submitted to The Aberfan Tribunal i London : Her Majesty's Stationery Office 1969 Printed image digitised by the University of Southampton Library Digitisation Unit A Selection of Technical Reports submitted to the Aberfan Tribunal Foreword In our Report* published last year we said that as soon as we were constituted as a Tribunal we arranged for a series of scientific investi- gations to be started under the general direction of Professor A.W. Bishop, London University. The National Coal Board brought in expert members of its own staff and also independent experts and the Aberfan Parents' and Residents' Association likewise engaged independent expert advisers. In addition certain other investigations were put in hand on behalf of some of the parties who appeared before the Tribunal. In view of their scientific interest, we thought it right to arrange for the separate publication of seven of the reports submitted by these experts to the Tribunal, and they are reproduced here with exactly the same text as was originally submitted. Most of the original drawings were unsuitable for reproduction within the size of this publication and many have been re-drawn. In some cases there was sufficient similarity between the drawings used by different experts to make it possible to use one drawing here without detracting from the information given in the original report. Certain of the written reports submitted to the Tribunal were required simply as formal evidence and these have not been reproduced in this publication. The task of preparing this volume for publication has been performed by Mr A.D.M.

  • Impact Assessment Template
    Title: Coal Tip Safety in Wales IA No: LACOM0072 Impact Assessment (IA) RPC Reference No: Date: Law Commission Lead department or agency: Stage: Development/Options Other departments or agencies: Welsh Government Source of intervention: Domestic Type of measure: Primary legislation Contact for enquiries: [email protected] Summary: Intervention and Options RPC Opinion: RPC Opinion Status Cost of Preferred (or more likely) Option (in 2019 prices) Total Net Present Business Net Present Net cost to business per Social Value Value year Business Impact Target Status Qualifying provision £m £m £m What is the problem under consideration? Why is government action or intervention necessary? Current legislation relating to coal tips does not effectively address the management of disused coal tips. This is important as coal tip landslips can have devastating effects. In 1966 a coal tip slipped onto a primary school, killing 144 people. Existing legislation relates to a time when there was an active coal industry, and disused coal tips were not considered such a problem. Record-breaking rainfall accompanying Storms Ciara/Dennis in February 2020 led to coal tip landslips. This illustrates the potential risks that disused coal tips present to communities and to the environment. Government intervention is required to design and implement a new regulatory system. What are the policy objectives of the action or intervention and the intended effects? The policy objectives are to: Identify gaps, inconsistencies and approaches in the current law which are unhelpful or have become outdated. Identify options for alternative regulatory models appropriate for adoption in Wales Ensure a robust, integrated and future-proofed regulatory system for coal tips which adopts a uniform approach to inspection, maintenance and record-keeping.

  • 26 October 2016 News: Baptist Union Council: October 2016 a Report From
    26 October 2016 News: Baptist Union Council: October 2016 A report from the October 2016 meeting of Baptist Union Council Overview Baptist churches as Beacons of Hope in their communities, the future of the Baptist Assembly, Ministerial Recognition Rules and some further reflection on Same Sex Marriage were among the main agenda items at the latest meeting of Baptist Union Council. Council members met at the Hayes Conference Centre in Swanwick on 13-14 October. Worship was led by Iain Pope, minister of Holly Lodge Baptist Church in Ipswich. He cited the early church as described by Luke in Acts 2. ‘I hope and pray that that’s how we approach Council,’ Iain said. ‘Yes we are here to do business. But we are here to do church, building God’s Kingdom.’ Beacons of Hope reflections ‘Our desire is that all our churches in Baptists Together may be ‘beacons of hope’, sharing the good news of Jesus in the places they are,’ said General Secretary Lynn Green. She explained Beacons of Hope is being developed out of the Beacons of Prayer call issued to churches last year. We live in times of challenge, uncertainty and political change and we have a distinctive role to play in our communities. Lynn believes that churches that are Beacons of Hope in their communities are: * Inspiring a longing for God * Inspiring a longing for mission * Inspiring a longing for relationship This was expressed through a venn diagram visual which also pointed to the practical outworking of these things in ‘loving service, holiness and Holy Spirit empowering’.
