I have been the Health, Safety, Welfare and
Environment representative for about 10 years with involvement
in, Inspections, risk assessments, health and safety forums/
committees, Accident investigations and all other aspects of

health and safety audits on small to medium companies in all
types of industries and also advised them on their duties under
the health and safety at work act 1974 and any other legislation
that relates to them. My main role was to advise employers of
their obligation under health and safety legislation and what
they have to do to make sure they conduct their undertakings to
