  • Victimisation, health and safety

    I've a long running religious discrimination complaint, finally got to the case management discussion today, after more than a year.
    Anyhow, I can't claim unfair dismissal, as I hadn't been employed for a year. I had brought health and safety matters up as part of my victimisation. The judge advised that I could amend my claim, and bring an unfair dismissal on the health and safety grounds alone.
    Can anyone point me in the direction of some reading material on the subject?

    Thanks in advance

    If you have been advised that you may be able to make an unfair dismissal claim, with less than two year service, on the basis of health and safety then you are going to have to show that the main or only reason you were dismissed was for taking action over this health and safety issue.

    Taking action over a health and safety issue can include:
    * raising a reasonable health and safety concern with an employer
    * refusing to work in situations where the employee believes they or other people are in serious danger
    * carrying out reasonable tasks as a workplace health and safety representative, for example advising others at work not to use a piece of equipment until adequate safety measures are in place.

    What was the health and safety issue that you took action over that led to your dismissal?
