IOSH 2008 Conference, Telford UK

Day 1 (Sunday)

The IOSH 08 conference took place once again in Telford UK. It really is a great conference center and a wonderful English community in which to have the conference. What a place to learn from each other about health and safety, as that was a big part of this community during the birth of the industrial revolution there, 251 years ago.

This year, I was accompanied by Wayne Glover, our Executive Director, for the first time. The Executive Committee feels that it is important that Wayne continue to accompany the CSSE President to these events to provide continuity with this ongoing relationship. Presidents come and go, but the Executive Director stays around for a while.

Relationships built at last year's IOSH Conference were celebrated and new ones were formed. I really want to thank IOSH and all of the wonderful people there for the kindness and generosity of time, information and friendship that they gave (and continue to give).

The first day started with getting my sleep and wake patterns adjusted and touching base with people that had already arrived. Wayne and I had a small strategy session and then met up with Mike Thompson the ASSE president for Dinner that evening.

Stay tuned for more details about the IOSH 2008 conference.

In health and done safely,
Eldeen E. Pozniak BA, BSc, CEES, CHSC, CRSP
