Meet the Committee

The South and West Wales Safety Group has a managing committee headed by a President. In addition an ex officio member represents the Health & Safety Executive. The committee members all have long-standing experience in the field of health and safety in the workplace. 

The officers of the committee are:

Claire Williams

Claire leads the health, safety and environment team at Aberystwyth University having a wide-range of previous working experience from local authority, housing association and manufacturing environments.

Having experienced the challenges faced in many organisations of delivering sensible risk management and a balanced approach through demanding times, Claire relies on a friendly approachable style, engaging colleagues to discuss their hazards and control measures, enabling them to continue creating and innovating safely through their roles. Recognising people are crucial to the health, safety and wellbeing programme, any organisation cannot achieve a positive safety culture without them.

 

As an Executive Committee member since 2007, Claire has supported and promoted the group’s annual programme and seminars through the development of the group’s social media profiles and is proud to be the first female chair.
