Death toll

The Centre for Corporate Acountability has won a decision from the Information Commissioner forcing the HSE to publish the names of those people killed at work. It will help them track cases.
I've written elsewhere on this topic which is truely a national scandal.
The HSE argued that releasing the names would badly affect relatives. I would imagine that the fact their son, father, mother, daughter, husband or wife was needlessly killed has already affected them pretty badly.
The HSE is hamstrung by poor legislation and a lack of resources which mean that few people aer properly brought to account for killing their workers. The blame needs to be laid clearly at the door of firms which put profit above safety - but the HSE don't help themselves.
