Alison Twycross RN PhD@alitwy.bsky.social · last yr.Time is running out 🩺 We wouldn’t give patients dirty water—so why give them dirty air?

Ergonomic chairs are required under a EU derived regulation to protect from RSI and back pain. Would you rather workers sit on wooden benches and then go off sick with back and neck pain? #deform 🙄 #bbclaurak

Union H&S reps are the eyes & ears of the workforce alerting managers to safety concerns before they cause harm to staff and patients.They should be celebrated by the employer, not victimised. Hats off to Mr Villani and all H&S reps.
Sharon Graham@unitesharon.bsky.social · last yr.That this was an NHS trust makes it all the more disgraceful. Mr Villani is a vital union rep keeping his colleagues safe and well at work. Yet he was the target of management at the hospital. Unite will never stand for such behaviour and I'm delighted the tribunal found in his favour.

Heavy workload, long hours, lack of autonomy, harassment in the #workplace... ⚠️ These are all examples of work-related #PsycoSocialRisks, which can severely affect the health of workers and are thus one of the biggest concerns to be addressed in modern working life
