| Graduation for JP Group Health & Safety Manager -
01/07/2010 |
Congratulations to Tony Gallagher our Health & Safety Manager on his graduation for the NEBOSH Diploma in Occupation Health and Safety which was presented by Judith Hackett CBE, Chair of the HSE and David Morris NEBOSH Chairman at Warwick University on 28th June 2010. Tony opted to study the Diploma via distance learning to limit the time that he had to take out of the operation. Tony has worked in Safety Management for over ten years and started his diploma studies in October 2007 and completed the qualification in July 2009 which is a considerable achievement, especially in light of the improvements he has made to safety management within the group since he joined us in October 2006. He hopes to achieve CMIOSH status later this year and intends to take a short break from his studies before completing an honour’s degree in Environmental Studies. Tony is now working on a very aggressive safety improvement plan which should see more excellent ideas come to fruition, including the development and implementation of quality and environmental management systems, additions to our in house training portfolio, improvements in record capture and reporting and the development of pre-populated risk assessments in a much improved format. This qualification and approach to continuous improvement truly reflects the organisations and Tony’s passion for pragmatic risk management. Once again this demonstrates both Tony’s and the JP Group’s on going commitment to improving Health & Safety, and providing a safe workplace not only for our staff and our client’s but also for the general public.
