Symposium Organisers:    Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (July 1st 2008)
Symposium Title:    "An Interactive Global Perspective on Developing H&S Management Systems"

Corporate Governance Presentation (EEI's Managing Partner, Philip McAleenan)

Abstract: In the context of this congress it is appropriate to focus on the role of the safety professional in the context of the organisation’s responsibility to ensure the safety of the workforce and others who are affected by its activities.  The safety professional exposes some of the contradictions that pervade the issue of effective governance, in particular when, as a function of management, that role conflicts with the notion that the competent company is composed of proficient decision making employees.
