consumer-focused roles. He spent a significant part of his career in the insurance industry, heading up marketing for brands such as Direct Line and Churchill.
Commenting on his appointment, Paul Fakley said: “The British Safety Council has been the beating heart of health and safety in the UK for more than 60 years. It is with great pleasure that I join the organisation at such an important time. Workplaces around the world are changing dramatically and the role of the British Safety Council needs to evolve to meet those needs and keep workers free from injury and illness.”
Dave said: “I am looking forward to the challenge of ensuring that the British Safety Council remains a leading voice on health, safety and wellbeing issues. Its strong corporate membership base, both within the UK and internationally, gives the organisation a unique position of influence to ensure that the welfare and safety of workers are the primary factors in business planning and regulatory change. I would like the British Safety Council to use that leverage to help all workplaces to continually improve.”

The Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) has been trying to ensure it is not a one- off, and to cycle to work on a regular basis. Doing so can help them to become healthier, boost their wellbeing and, as a result, be more productive.
Ruth Wilkinson, Head of Health and Safety at IOSH, said: “Cycle to Work Day is a great initiative as it really highlights the benefits of physical activity for everyone.
“As well as the clear health benefits, physical activity, such as riding a bike, releases endorphins which help people feel good about themselves. So, there are clear wellbeing benefits as well. Why wouldn’t you want that feelgood factor to start the day?
“This leads to increased productivity, so there are some real benefits for organisations as well as individuals. What organisation wouldn’t want healthy, motivated and productive staff. And there is of course the added benefit of helping the environment.
“We encourage people to not only cycle to work on this one particular day, but as regularly as possible. If you are able to, leave your car at home or forget about public transport and get on your bike.”
Ruth added: “In addition to cycling to work, there are many more ways that organisations can encourage activities which promote health and wellbeing and bring about real business benefits.”
