It has dealt with over 100,000 Covid cases, with nearly 25,000 complaints coming from workers and the public in January. The governments health and safety watchdog has failed to shut down any workplaces that put employees at risk of coronavirus even though there have been over 3,500 outbreaks at work since the start of the pandemic, the Observer has discovered. No employers have been prosecuted for Covid safety failings since the start of the pandemic, according to the TUC. An experienced inspector at the HSE, who wished to remain anonymous, told the Observer that inspectors were unable to halt work activities exposing workers to coronavirus because the virus was only classed as a significant threat. Employment minister Mims Davies last week said Covid had been classified as significant rather than serious, as it best supports inspectors in making sensible, proportionate regulatory decisions.
Healthcare inspectors are responsible for death of workers who become sick from precautionary measures.
