The Health and Safety Executive is the national regulator for workplace health and safety. It aims to prevent death, injury and ill health in Great Britain’s workplaces.
Professor Taylor, a health and safety risk management specialist, with a particular interest in safety culture, has been appointed as the HSE Board member representing the interests of professional bodies.
Welcoming his appointment, Professor Taylor said:
“I am delighted to be appointed to the HSE Board. This is a challenging time for health and safety and I want to play my full part in helping the Board to meet those challenges. Throughout my career as a safety professional I have always been impressed by how much people can achieve simply by listening to and learning from one another, and by working together to meet common objectives. I look forward to working with the professional bodies in that same spirit, to help deliver the health and safety improvements we all wish to see.”
