The Trade Union Conference (TUC) has welcomed the launch of the Health & Safety Executive's (HSE) workers' web page.
It is the first government body to create a portal specifically for workers.
TUC general secretary John Monks said: "Workers now have their own way onto the
HSE website, where they can find out their rights, check out whether their employer is playing fair and, if necessary, blow the whistle on the web."
Health & Safety Commission chair Bill Callaghan said the increasing use of the internet made the workers' web page ideal for getting the HSE message across.
"By reaching out to key customers and explaining worker rights and responsibilities, we're laying a foundation of knowledge that will help make our workplaces safer," he said.
