IOSH Fellowship for Grid Safety Specialist

Mark Kenyon, Senior Health and Safety Specialist in the National Grid and EirGrid, was recently transferred to the grade of Fellow by the Chartered Institution of Occupation Safety and Health (IOSH).

IOSH is Europe's leading body for Occupational Safety and Health professionals, representing over 27,000 members world-wide and some 2800 here in Ireland. The Institution aims to secure and justify public trust and confidence in the services provided by its members by ensuring high levels of technical competence and professional conduct.

Fellowship is not just recognition of long service, and members must commit to a programme of continuing professional development, submit a portfolio outlining their professional experience and undertake a peer review interview. Mark has been employed within the Grid for nearly two years and has become Ireland's 28th Chartered Fellow.

A continued drive is underway at the Grid to achieve OHSAS 18001 with the help of all employees in ESB National Grid and EirGrid.
