Michelle Aldous of Sypol is the 2005 winner of the BOHS 'Working for a Healthier Workplace - The Peter Isaac Award', which recognises outstanding contributions to the reduction of ill-health at work.
The British Occupational Hygiene Society (BOHS) has announced that Michelle Aldous of Sypol is the 2005 winner of its 'Working for a Healthier Workplace - The Peter Isaac Award', which recognises outstanding contributions to the reduction of ill-health at work.
This is for her management of 'Constructing Better Health', an occupational health support pilot for small and medium construction firms and self-employed workers.
Occupational health support was flagged up by the 2000 OHAC report as the big challenge.
Michelle has assembled, managed and led a small team to deliver this to smaller building firms and individuals in Leicestershire, UK, as a trial.
The objective is to determine the most effective way to deliver a national scheme.
The challenge has been enormous: to reach the small firms and individuals who tend to focus on business survival and do not see longer-term health as a priority.
Nevertheless, the work that has been done to date - reaching hundreds of businesses and thousands of building workers - is beginning to make a real difference.
The realisation is growing that everyone can take steps to reduce hand-arm vibration syndrome, noise-induced hearing loss, dermatitis, musculo-skeletal problems and respiratory disease, and Michelle is leading a programme that democratises good occupational hygiene practice and points employers towards long-term relationships with professional hygienists.
Michelle joined Sypol in August 2004 specifically as project manager for Constructing Better Health.
She has specialised in health and safety for over ten years, in both the public and private sectors, most recently as the UK health and safety manager for transport and warehouse services at Christian Salvesen.
She has also worked for the HSE as an inspector, spending time in both the Field Operative Division (FOD) and the Hazardous Installation Division (HID).
She is a chartered member of IOSH, and an examiner with NEBOSH at certificate and diploma level.
The Peter Isaac Award was initiated to mark the BOHS's golden jubilee in 2003, and is so named in honour of Peter Isaac, a founder and the first secretary of the society.
Michelle will receive £500 to be used to subsidise attendance at any 2006 health and safety conference, plus a trophy for the year and a framed certificate signed by the president to keep, presented at the BOHS Annual Conference Dinner in April 2006.
Also included is free entry to the Conference, and BOHS membership for one year.
