Welcome

 

I'm the Director of the Centre for Health Impact Assessment at the Institute of Occupational Medicine (IOM). The IOM is a major independent centre of scientific excellence in the fields of occupational and environmental health, hygiene and safety. We were founded as a charity in 1969 by the UK coal industry in conjunction with the University of Edinburgh and became fully independent in 1990. Our mission is to benefit those at work and in the community by providing quality research, consultancy and training in health, hygiene and safety and by maintaining our independent, impartial position as an international centre of excellence.

I'm currently in the process of developing my personal page so I'm sorry there's nothing much on it at the moment but there will be some stuff here quite soon. I'm now storing my material on Scribd and linking to it as its so convenient and a cool way of accessing my stuff.
