IOSH magazine March/April 2020

March issue 2020
Issue date: March 2020

ALL CHANGE

Welcome to your new-look, bi-monthly IOSH magazine, completely redesigned to be informative and a ‘go to’ resource for our members, delivering the top things you need to know and enhancing your CPD opportunities.

This edition’s cover feature dives deeper into IOSH’s six priorities and our ‘asks’ of the new UK government over the next five years. Did we get it right? As the magazine evolves, we’ll invite you to ask and answer questions and expand your debates online.

Also in this issue, we have a spotlight on Florence Anyane, Ghana’s first  female Chartered Member, we talk to the director general for the Department of Occupational Safety and Health in Malaysia about that country’s commitment to improving OSH by reducing the rate of work-related deaths and accidents and improving reporting of occupational diseases, and there’s a brilliant feature for International Women’s Day with influential women leaders from across the globe.

Vanessa Harwood-Whitcher,
IOSH director of professional development
