Hello and welcome to

Connect

Hello and welcome to another issue of Connect.

As previously reported in Connect, IOSH is supporting the ‘Clean Air – Take Care’ campaign due to be launched in London next month.

The campaign aims to help reduce occupational respiratory disease by raising issues that surround it. IOSH members can hear more about the campaign at the IOSH 10 conference and exhibition in Glasgow.

David Lummis, from the British Safety Industry Federation, and Bob Rajan, from the HSE, will give a presentation to conference delegates outlining how to correctly select and deploy respiratory equipment, as well as discussing ways in which support materials, such as training DVDs and PowerPoint presentations, can be used effectively in the workplace. To hear about IOSH’s involvement in the ‘Clean Air – Take Care’ campaign, why not attend the IOSH 10 exhibition on Wednesday 24 March in Glasgow. Register free at the exhibition website.

In this issue of Connect, we have our third and final article on respiratory protection, including a closer look at IOSH’s work for the ‘Clean Air – Take Care’ campaign.

For our Spotlight feature, we travelled to Shrewsbury to meet a company that organised a ghost hunt after staff members reported some eerie experiences at the company’s offices.

As well as features, we have the usual round-up of industry news, IPD dates and the latest Professional Developments courses.

If you’ve any comments to make about Connect, or would like to be featured in one of our interviews, please drop us a line.

Thanks for reading.
