The unions have attacked the government over it's funding of the HSE. A report suggests that major injury investigations have decreased by 43-per-cent between 2001 and 2007. It also reveals that there has been a 69-per-cent reduction in the number of ‘over three-day’ injuries investigated, and a 31-per-cent fall in ‘dangerous occurrences’ investigations.
The trade union believes the reduction in investigations is due to a lack of resources in the HSE rather than a decrease in the number of incidents reported. The group is now demanding the Government provides extra funding to allow the HSE to employ additional inspectors to handle the need for investigation.
