You are now one of many Safety Representatives working to save the lives and improve Health, Safety and Welfare standards for all FBU members at work.

Members should be treated equally and their individual, as well as collective needs and problems, responded to positively and objectively. It is part of a Safety Representatives job to be sensitive to these needs and help promote fairness and equality at work, particularly in relation to health and safety regardless of factors such as race, class, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion, nationality, disability etc.

Too many of our members are being killed or seriously injured. We must improve the safety record within the Fire and Rescue Serv
