Yesterday Clare Richardson CMIOSH attended the RVT Group Action on Health event in Birmingham. It was great to meet up with again with Clare Forshaw and Melodie Gilbert.

Interesting speakers and networking opportunities.

Good to hear from Balfour Beatty plc Robert Cheeseman on their health strategy. British Occupational Hygiene Society (BOHS) Adrian P. LEV best practise. Stuart Mace 💚what mental health first aid doesn’t teach you. Clare Forshaw protecting hearing at work and the link between hearing loss and dementia risk.

More knowledge sharing activities like this should be promoted, particularly helpful for smaller contractor organisations without the budgets of Tier 1’s.

What Clare Richardson CMIOSH took away from the day was confirming the holistic approach to safety, health and wellbeing that Gateway HSW Consultants uses, continue with developing the positive organisational culture and use existing process and systems to effective manage hazard and risk for – safety, health & wellbeing.
Thank you RVT Group for keeping the focus on health hazards in construction.
