BLINDSIDED BY GRENFELL

In the November/December 2024 issue of IOSH Magazine our President, Roger Bibbings MBE, CFIOSH (Retired) has written a very thought provoking article on the Grenfell Tower Inquiry’s main findings.
His article looks at the part that safety campaigners played and suggests that he and many others were blindsided by Grenfell and thinks there is a learning point that we all need to think clearly about how we maintain our awareness of potential safety problems and highlight them before they result in tragedy.

The judging has taken place in Safety Groups UK Health and Safety Awards 2024 and Herefordshire Health & Safety Group has won a SILVER award. The judges were very impressed with the calibre of entries and, in particular, the work of our Group in promoting Health and Safety.

A quote from the letter advising us of our win:-

‘The judges asked that you be informed that your entry showed work of a high quality and that your entry was judged to be very close to that of a gold standard’.

In recent years we have won either silver or a gold award every time we’ve entered which is a great achievement for a group of our size.
