PCS launches double campaign on reporting

The PCS public services union has launched Report it!, a campaign with two related strands - one to improve the general level of reporting of near-miss and minor incidents in workplaces, and the other to ensure that all incidents involving violence, abuse and threats are reported.

The union has produced guidance for reps, posters to put up in workplaces, a leaflet to hand out to members, and window and paper stickers to act as a constant reminder to members of the importance of reporting all incidents.

The materials are available from the PCS's Equality, Health and Safety department - call 020 7801 2683. Some can be downloaded from www.pcs.org.uk/Templates/ Internal.asp?NodeID=898985
