Dalton was a community representative on the board of the Environment Agency from 1999 to 2001 when he was fired. The bulk of this series originates from that role.

Correspondence and papers relating to trade unions. Some of the series originates from Dalton's role, between 1995 and 1998, as Health and Safety Co-ordinator at the Transport and General Workers' Union (TGWU) but there is also some earlier and later material relating to the TGWU as well as some material relating to other trade unions.

Dalton accused the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) of a lack of openness about its enforcement record and requested information under its open-government policy. He subsequently complained about the HSE to the Ombudsman. This series includes correspondence and papers about those requests and complaints.

There is, for example, correspondence between Dalton and the HSE on asbestos-related topics.
