Society seems, somehow, to be getting more violent. And that means that working life is more likely to experience violent incidents – which means, of course, workers are more at risk.

Matthew Holder joins us to talk about the long-awaited digitalisation of the LRD’s principal publication for the union health and safety community, Safety Rep.
