WISH report

RoSPA has conducted an investigation into worker involvement in safety and health (WISH) in nonunionised workplaces in Scotland for the HSE. The initiative built on evidence that organisations with "properly involved" unionised safety representatives achieved better health and safety performance.

The investigation found the concept of worker involvement was low on the agendas of most employers and there was an unwillingness to invest in the issue. Despite this, most businesses interviewed by RoSPA involved workers in day-to-day activities, although often this was not thought of as "involvement".
