Working Together in Health, Safety and the Environment

Big Ben Anniversary Sponsorship

Health and safety and Parliament are inextricably linked. Our evolution and improvements of the health safety and welfare of workers could not have happened without Parliamentary intervention and approval.

Over the past 200 years legislation has been passed by Parliament which has been the seed for the massive improvements we have seen in health, safety and welfare at work and the development and protection of worker rights. The significant milestones include:

Factories

Health and Morals of Apprentices Act 1802

Apprentices in cotton mills

1833 – Factory Act

By 1876 there were 19 Acts to consider

All consolidated by:

Factory and Workshop Act 1901

Gave the power to the Secretary of State to make Regulations

Factory Act 1937

Removed distinction between types of factory

Factory Act 1961

Non Factories

Shop Hours Regulation Act 1886

Restricted hours of work for young persons

Seats for Shop Assistants Act 1899

The last 150 years of Parliamentary health and safety intervention has been carried out under the face of the most famous clock in the world which houses the most famous bell in the world - Big Ben.

This year's 150th anniversary of the first ringing of Big Bell will be celebrated by several public events and the publication of a commemorative publication. This publication features all of the Government departments each of which is privately sponsored.
