Construction blacklisting campaign

Individuals have been prevented from further employment in construction and other sectors by employers who have operated a "blacklist" of those who they don't want to employ again.

This has ruined their chances of future employment and ruined many lives.

Many have been safety reps, whose only crimes have been to organise for safer workplaces.

Construction

There is no doubt that construction is one of the most dangerous industries in the UK.

Every year dozens of people die on site, several thousands get injured or develop work-related health problems. See our Construction Dust Risks news item for more on risks from dusty work.

This is why improving health and safety on construction sites plays a key role in the Hazards Trust's daily work and ongoing campaigns.
