IOSH appoints development manager for Ireland

Friday, 30 January 2009

Norita Robinson has been appointed development manager for Ireland.

Norita, who joined the Networks and International Directorate in January, will oversee the development of IOSH's influence and reputation in the country, as well as liaising with members and officials.

Previously a business development manager with Quinn Healthcare, Norita is a Fellow of the Irish Auctioneers and Valuers Institute (IAVI) and honorary secretary for the South East region.

She said:

"I'm delighted to be taking on this role and look forward to helping IOSH achieve its aims in Ireland. Health and safety is a vitally important subject which I feel should have a higher profile.

"I'm looking forward to meeting and working with IOSH members in Ireland, who play such an important role in ensuring the health and safety of our workers in Ireland. The fact that 57 workers still lost their lives in Irish workplaces last year shows, however, that there's still much to do.

"I hope by enhancing IOSH's presence in Ireland, we'll be able to play a key role in reducing the amount of death and injury in workplaces."
