Industrial Accidents

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether his Department consulted (a) health and safety representatives and (b) trade unions on the decision made by Sodexo to change the default setting on the SOARS accident reporting system to one where staff have to opt in to send details of any accident to local health and safety representatives.

Answer

There have been no changes to the default preferences. The process remains that TUH&S representatives should receive a copy of all accident reports, these can be anonymised if the individual reporting requests it.
