part of the solution and can play a pivotal role in delivering a solution to the benefit of global society, he said. Martin Temple CBE and chair of the HSE, began his keynote address by congratulating the UK paper industry on its support and commitment to the Paper and Board Industry Advisory Committee (PABIAC) and in achieving continuous and sustained health and safety improvements over the last 15 years.
Launching the next four-year
PABIAC Strategy 2019-2023 ‘Health, Safety and Wellbeing – Hearts, Minds and People’. Temple said: “This new PABIAC strategy supports many of the areas in HSE’s Helping Great Britain Work Well strategy and
Manufacturing sector action plans. “To help create effective health and safety management and a cultural shift throughout the organisation, this strategy calls for strong leadership, commitment and accountability, from top management and all other levels within the organisation.” Speakers on the main stage
addressed all delegates while smaller sessions were held that allowed delegates to dive into topics of particular relevance to their role.
In his closing address, CPI
president Richard Coward paid tribute to the tri-partite members of PABIAC, and especially CPI’s Andy Braund, for his many years of service and tireless promotion of improving the industries’
health and safety performance. Commenting on broader issues
facing the industry, Coward continued: “As an industry, we must continually make the case for paper as a responsible partner, with products and processes that are environmentally and socially sustainable. Paper is a key player in the bio-economy, recycling and circular economy debates. And so it should be; its inherent renewability is a great attribute not shared by many other materials.” Andy Braund, CPI director of
health and safety, summed up by commenting: “With so many issues of importance at the forefront of people’s minds, we set out to deliver a conference that would attract delegates from all levels of the industry and to
put delegates in touch with the regulators and policy makers. This year’s conference attracted more delegates and exhibitors than ever before and is a testament to the work of CPI on behalf of its members and the support shown by the industry. “As the industry enters a new
era in health and safety, with a greater focus on work-related ill health and mental health, the new PABIAC strategy with leadership, collaboration and engagement as a key objective, is essential in delivering the next phase of the UK’s Paper-based Industries’ continuous health and safety improvement programme.” Main sponsors of the event were
