If you would like more information about the conference then please email 
hazconf@gmhazards.org.uk or phone Janet Newsham on 07734 317158.

The National Hazards Conference is the biggest gathering of safety reps in the country, bringing together reps from a range of different unions along with community H&S activists from organisations such as FACK (Families Against Corporate Killing) and asbestos campaigners amongst others. 

 

With an excellent range of speakers and workshops on specialist health and safety issues, the conference is the ideal opportunity for RMT safety reps to broaden their knowledge and to network with other likeminded people.

 

Please bring the contents of this circular to the attention of relevant members. 

 

 

Yours sincerely

 

 

Michael Lynch

General Secretary
