IOSH delegation forges new links in Romania

Malcolm McIntyre, Paul Popescu and Chris Hayes visited Bucharest in October 09 as part of IOSH “New Accession Countries” initiative.

Meetings were held with ARSSM (the Romanian Association of Health and safety professionals), the ministry of Labour, and the University of Bucharest.

IOSH member and principal occupational safety and health lecturer at Middlesex University Shaun Lundy was also part of the trip as it is hoped that further cooperation with Bucharest University can develop.

IOSH member and trainer Geoff Hornby was also delivering a course in Bucharest about risk assessment and machinery safety. The training was supported by the IOSH Research and Development fund.
