CIWM HEALTH & SAFETY INITIATIVE: WE NEED YOUR VIEWS!
This scoping study will define the extent of the health and safety awareness and competence in the sector. It will establish what currently exists, identify the gaps
and recommend how they might be addressed. To support this process we have
today launched the first phase of our survey programme and we need your help
and commitment. If you are able to contribute to a short questionnaire, and
provide information about practices within your organisation, we would really
like you to get involved.
If you are able to contribute, please send a quick email to our survey team at Entec UK Ltd: lynsey.hunton-clarke@entecuk.co.uk who will provide further details and forward a copy of the questionnaire by return email. If you have already contacted
us about being involved, you do not need to get in touch again. You will be contacted directly by our survey team next week.
