Updating old health and safety rules

From The Panel, 4:10 pm on 16 July 2019

Workplace Relations and safety Minister Ian Lees Galloway has launched a 3 month consultation period on regulations aimed at improving health and safety.

Some of the rules go back 40 years and aren't deemed fit for purpose anymore. Deaths in the construction sector are the highest in 10 years.

We speak to Maurice Davis, Secretary of the Amalgamated Workers Union about what he thinks needs to be included in the regulations.
