Author of the original IWFM Risk Management Good Practice Guide (2010)

Risk and safety management are fundamental to the success of any organisation and should be seen as investments, not spends. With increasing scrutiny on not just the legal and financial, but moral and reputational aspects of business performance, knowing who to engage for accurate, verifiable independent and trustworthy advice is crucial. It is this advice we strive to deliver.

Good health and safety management doesn’t happen by accident."

Greg is a recognised expert and as a result has been asked for support in a range of investigations, including, most notably, the Legionella outbreak in Barrow-in-Furness in August 2002. He has been involved in investigations carried out by the local authorities, HSE and ORR.

With his extensive working knowledge, Greg is a regular presenter and has spoken at events run by, amongst others CIBSE, IWFM, IIRSM, BISRA, the Health Protection Agency, The British Safety Council, RICS, and IOSH. He is a regular contributor to the industry press with over 200 articles published to date.

He was the author of the original IWFM good practice guide to risk management, published in 2010, chairing the CIBSE review of TM 13 “Minimising the risk of Legionnaires’ disease”, authored Part 9 “Risk assessment and risk management” of CIBSE Guide M and been involved in discussions with various Government departments and others  (formerly DECC, Defra, the HPA (now UK Health Security Agency) and CCC) on compliance and sustainability.

Using this combined experience Greg is increasingly being asked by customers to brief and update their boards of directors and governors on health, safety and environmental compliance. Greg has also recently joined an Institute of Directors Expert Advisory Group on The Future of the Workplace.

Legionella – yet another reminder of why management control is so important

Further to my colleague Kerry Clarkson’s Insight last week (New York Legionella Outbreak), a “community cluster” of Legionnaires’ disease in Manhattan's Upper East Side (centred on the neighbourhoods of Carnegie Hill and Yorkville), looks like it may be resolving, with New York City officials saying they are "confident" the source of the outbreak has been eradicated.
