Foreword: December 2015
This month in HSE International:
A
s 2015 draws to a close we present
our final issue of the year. Our cover
story this month focusses on Bunzl
Greenham, leaders in the supply of Personal
Protection Equipment (PPE), Cleaning and
Hygiene Supplies and Contractors’ Site
Equipment. HSE International spoke to
Jon Mellor, Technical Support Manager
at Bunzl Greenham to discuss their proactive approach to the quality, performance
and safety of their products; minimising
their environmental impact and ensuring
your safety at all times. In our dedicated
‘Facilities & Property Management’
section we speak to David Harmer, Head
of Category Management at Alexandra,
a leading international provider of
workwear, corporate clothing and uniforms
to a wide range of business sectors.
Continuing our coverage of the 2015
RoSPA awards, we include a review of the
awards ceremonies earlier this year and
editorial features with 2015 winners UKDN
Waterflow (LG) Ltd and NBC Group. In
addition to their RoSPA awards success,
NBC recently made a donation to the
British Heart Foundation for purchasing
defibrillators in the Gravesham area. Two
weeks later, one of these defibrillators saved
a local man’s life after suffering a heart
attack whilst out buying a birthday present
for his Granddaughter. Jag Sidhu, Director
commented: “He said, ‘If it wasn’t for your
defibrillators, I wouldn’t have made her
birthdayʼ. He had tears of joy and said thank
you for keeping me alive. I mean, it’s a lot
of money but what is it worth when you can
save a life? That is priceless.”
In our dedicated ‘Oil & Gas’ section, we
review SPE Offshore Europe 2015, which
took place in Aberdeen on 8-11 September.
Offshore Europe is a biennial conference and
exhibition and is one of the UK’s largest E&P
(exploration & production) events, dedicated
solely to the Oil & Gas industry.
As usual, we round out this issue with the
latest news and views helping you keep up to
date with all the latest developments. Finally,
I’d like to wish our readers and clients all
the very best during the festive period and a
happy, prosperous and safe 2016.
