_ Scottish Hazards is a core participant in the Scottish COVID-19 Inquiry, recognising our work supporting workers in non-unionised workplaces throughout the pandemic.
| Our continued involvement with International Workers Memorial Day (IWVMD) saw twenty-eight events taking place across Scotland’s thirty-two local authorities to remember workers lost across Scotland and the world.
Scottish Hazards continues to engage with the Scottish Parliament to campaign for more effective Corporate Homicide legislation and campaign for a national occupational health service and for a Toxics Use Reduction strategy.
_ Our work with Trade Unions continues with another successful conference and contributing to Scottish Trades Union Congress (STUC) training. We have provided several training related activities throughout the year in partnership with Scottish Union Learning and we have taken the opportunities to speak with various groups about the work we do.
October 2024 marked the 50th Anniversary of the Health & Safety at Work Act. We were approached by the Trades Union Congress (TUC) to host a special conference to mark this milestone and to address the future steps in a modern context.
With the support of the Alex Ferry Foundation and the Confederation of Shipbuilding and Engineering Unions, Scottish Hazards worked with shipyard unions to empower young workers to drive change and improve health and safety with our Empowering Young Workers project.

Itis my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44(1) (c) ofthe 2005 Act and to state whether |
| particular matters have come to my attention. |
|
| Basis ofindependent examiner's statement |
Myexamination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 ofthe 2006 Accounts Regulations. An examination |
| includes a review ofthe accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison ofthe accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration ofany unusual items ordisclosures in the accounts and seeks explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The |
|
| procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that | |
| would be required in an audit and, consequently, |
|
| express an audit opinion on the accounts. | |
