London workers endure the worst health and safety conditions in the country, according to a survey by the Trades Union Congress (TUC).
The TUC survey of workplace safety union reps found that only 38% of the capital's employers carry out adequate workplace risk assessments.
Among other problems associated with the capital, stress and overwork were found to be prevalent. The survey also found a high incidence of problems associated with violence and display screen equipment.
Brendan Barber, TUC general secretary-elect said: "London's employers need to get their act together if they want to be premier league players - at the moment they're in the relegation zone.
"Workers in the capital are facing appalling stresses due to long hours and violence, yet these are all problems that employers can control. We need healthier workplaces for a wealthier future."
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
