Representatives from the waste management and recycling industry have come together to form the Waste Industry Safety and Health (WISH) forum. WISH members include representatives from HSE, main trade associations, professional associations, trade unions, recycling organisations and national and local government bodies involved in waste management and recycling.
The aim of WISH is to identify, devise and promote activities to improve industry health and safety standards.
The WISH forum: Commitment to competence is designed to support the industry in raising staff competency levels. It is hoped that this will help to reduce accidents and occupational ill health.
You can get involved with WISH in a number of ways:
Please contact Dr Toni Gladding (Secretary) at t.l.gladding@open.ac.uk or Christopher Jones (Chair) at cjones@coryenvironmental.co.uk
