HC Deb 10 July 1973 vol 859 c299W
44. Mr. Sydney Chapman

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he will initiate pilot schemes in Government training centres to evaluate whether regional safety centres should be established, as recommended in the recent industrial training service accident prevention survey.

Mr. Chichester-Clark

This suggestion has been discussed by the Industrial Safety Advisory Council's Sub-Committee on Safety Training. It would make considerable demands on the resources of the Factory Inspectorate, and it has been decided that it would not be practicable to proceed with it. Experimental courses for managers are, however, being provided at the Industrial Safety Management Centre in Glasgow. It is hoped that these will yield useful information on the general question of safety training facilities.
