The role included the provision of environmental health support including food hygiene and water quality as well as health in design work such as to prevent hazardous materials being used in new ship construction.

Major accomplishments included;• achieving asbestos free fleet status.• the agreement and publication of controls for naturally occurring radiation – a first for the LNG shipping industry. • improvement of chemical risk assessment process and the elimination of a number of carcinogens.

More recently on the digital agenda I began a project to capture exposure data from personal gas detectors using centralised portal software. While at bp Shipping I actively participated in a number of maritime industry bodies, such as the UK Port Health Group and the UK Chamber of Shipping, providing specialist industrial hygiene advice for the benefit of the wider merchant shipping industry.
