Safety Stall 30.03.2006

We agreed with the hospital managers that we could run a health and safety stall in the main foyer during the Week. We got materials for the stall from the trade union head office and from the national health and safety authority. We also made and photocopied our own leaflets to support another ongoing activity of the hospital’s safety committee - to get all staff to report all incidents of violence to staff. Safety representatives organised a rota to have someone available to answer queries and hand out information. We advertised the stall beforehand by putting up posters. The stall was a double success because its position in the foyer meant that it was accessible to members of the public as well as staff which was especially important to help promote the campaign against violence to staff.
