All employees have a legal right to work in a safe and healthy environment, and all organisations have a duty to ensure they manage health and safety risks in the workplace effectively. However, sometimes, accidents do happen, and it is useful to know what practical steps you should take in the aftermath and to be aware of which organisations may become involved if the accident is serious.
Clean Air Day is the UK's largest air pollution campaign, promoted by Environmental Protection Scotland working in partnership with Global Action Plan. The purpose of Clean Air Day is to increase public awareness of the dangers posed by pollutants and encourage people to reduce their own impact on the environment. As support grows for the movement, the goal is that the Government will make the changes required to effectively tackle the problem.
