Motion text

That this House notes that 16 firefighters have lost their lives at fires since 2003; further notes that, according to the Health and Safety Executive, the rate of injury is higher in the fire and rescue service at 180.1 per 100,000 compared to an all industry average of 105.1; is concerned by the wide variation between fire authorities in the recording and reporting of non-fatal injuries to firefighters; regrets the ongoing absence of a properly resourced national body with responsibility for recording and investigating firefighter deaths and serious injuries; and calls on the Government to commence work with the Health and Safety Executive and other stakeholders to create a body responsible for issuing safety-critical operational guidance resulting from the investigation of any fatality or serious injury to firefighters at work.
