JOHN METCALFE – FOR JOBS... FOR SERVICES... FOR CARLISLE
PRESS RELEASE
16/03/10
A Tory Vote Could Cost You Your Life!
Carlisle Socialist candidate John Metcalfe has today branded Tory plans to seriously dilute health and safety in the workplace as a ‘cowboy’s charter’ and ‘Life threatening’. Speaking today following the publication of Tory policy paper "Regulation in the post bureaucratic age", he said:
"This isn’t an issue about health and safety laws being unreasonable, it’s about protecting people from getting maimed and killed whilst at work.
The Tory plans to allow employers to arrange their own health and safety inspections, and to unbelievably allow company’s to refuse access and entry to Inspectors from the Health and Safety Executive, are nothing short of a ‘charter for cowboys’.
Most employers are reasonable, and carry out their responsibilities with real care for their staff, but all workers need to have the best possible protection whilst at work. This has to be a statutory right.
This policy really shows the true colours of the Tories, and is almost a throwback to a Victorian era when people’s lives were seen merely as an expendable commodity. Carlisle employees should be fully aware of placing their faith in a party, which ultimately could cost them their lives."
