The International Institute of Risk
and Safety Management (IIRSM) is
now a sustaining member of the
International Commission on
Occupational Health (ICOH).

ICOH, a non-governmental
professional society, aims to foster
the scientific progress, knowledge
and development of occupational
health and safety in all aspects.

IIRSM chair Keith Scott
(pictured) has been appointed chair
of the Scientific Committee on
Accident Prevention (SCAP) and Dr
Su Wang, IIRSM director was named
secretary of the Committee. One of
the main purposes of the SCAP is
making links between different
strands of research covering accident
prevention in terms of occupational
health and occupational safety.

One of Scott’s key aims is to
address the balance of committee
membership, ensuring that at least
half the members are safety
professionals from across the globe,
thereby allowing safety to be
thoroughly addressed.
