Health and Safety Law 2024
The right to paid time off to attend a TUC Stage 2 health and safety course was confirmed by the High Court. The judge overturned a tribunal ruling that had interpreted too narrowly the rights of safety reps to attend trade union courses. The tribunal had incorrectly interpreted the Code of Practice to Regulation 4(2)(b) of the SRSCR and placed the wrong emphasis on what the employer felt to be “necessary” training. The employer should have instead considered what was reasonable.
