Health and Safety Law 2024 (October 2024)

The Trade Union Clean Air Network (TUCAN) charter has the backing of 14 national unions. It calls on the government to take action on air pollution, including introducing a new Clean Air Act that sets stringent legal limits for ambient air quality based on WHO world health organisation guidelines. It also says the government should amend WELs to require employers to monitor and control diesel and other toxic vehicle emissions not currently covered by EH40 (see page 80).
