Phil Steward CMIOSH

After 30 years experience working in mechanical engineering, telecoms, facilities management and construction at all levels I have worked for and with some fantastic people.

For the last fifteen years I've worked as a H&S professional at the prestigious BT Research and Development establishment in Ipswich and other corporate bodies. During this time I was involved in developing and delivering and improving safety strategies, management of safe systems, advising on best practice and training people at all levels to IOSH, NEBOSH and CIEH standards.

Working with Directors and senior managers through to managers, operatives, technicians and other safety professionals I have developed a wide range of skills enabling me to build, communicate and advise clearly on many aspects relating to Health and Safety. Most recently I have worked with Monteray, delivering full facilities management including property services throughout the BT estate. Regulatory changes during this time required review and development of many new systems including asbestos and working at height.

Keeping up to date with regulatory changes and maintaining levels of competency with regulatory bodies such as NEBOSH, BSC and CSCS is a serious professional undertaking on my part. It is important that businesses maintain robust systems for H&S my aim is to help corporate and smaller businesses to protect their employees and their business.
