Posted By Neil Budworth Dear Phillip, The TUC have done some work on this that showed that employers with safety reps are twice as safe as those without. This also co incides with the fact that you are twice as liklely to be injured in a SME than in a large company. Given that the larger companies tend to be the ones with safety reps they may be reporting the same data in a different way. I don't know how throughly they analysed the stats to take in to account size of company. Try either the TUC website or try E mailing Otudor@tuc.org Good luck with the research ! Best Regards Neil
