New honorary vice-president welcomed at House of Lords

摘要

IOSH recently welcomed its former chief executive, John Barrell, as a new honorary vice-president (HVP) during the launch of its Li£e Savings campaign at the House of Lords. The Institution's president, Steve Granger, presented the accolade during the Honorary Vice Presidents' Luncheon. This was also the setting for the launch of IOSH's latest campaign, which urges businesses and the Government to recognise the billions that could be ploughed back into the UK economy with better health and safety management. Mr Barrell, who became IOSH's chief executive in 1978, said: "To be named one of the Institution's honorary vice presidents feels like a real mark of recognition for how important my time with the organisation was, acknowledging the impact that the things we put into action then have had on health and safety today.
