Practitioners urged to recognise change and motivate line managers

Article Abstract:

At the 1996 conference of the UK's Institution of Safety and Health, its deputy director general David Eves told delegates that the profession was well-placed to influence managers' health and safety decisions and instigate change. Eves said that practitioners needed to show that risk control affects the whole business, not just the health and safety element. Another speaker, Andrea McWatt, told the conference that the European Union's increasing focus on employment law places health and safety at the centre of good business practice.
