Making plans to have a Safe and Healthy 2003?
January 2003
Sheila Pantry, OBE
May I wish everyone a safe, healthy and happy New Year wherever you are working in the world! Many people returning to work after the festivities will, no doubt, be making plans to improve the standards of health and safety in their workplace. It is important that the practices and systems in the workplace are constantly reviewed and if necessary, improved. This review may also indicate training requirements and updates and re-thinking how systems and services can be improved.
OSHWORLD celebrates its first anniversary with this edition! I do hope you find the information in it useful in your daily work. Look at the latest additions to the Diary of Events and you will see plans have been made already worldwide up to 2005 to have training courses, symposiums and conferences in many places in the world on a wide range of subjects. Don't forget that on 3 and 4 November 2003 there will be a major conference EUROSHE 2003 held in London (see also FOCUS). Already bookings have been made. So do not wait until it is too late to get into this important event.
