ALAN MURRAY APPOINTED PRESIDENT OF SAFETY GROUPS UK



Safety Groups UK (SGUK), the coordinating body for a network of around 73 local
voluntary Occupational Health and Safety Groups across the UK, has appointed
Alan Murray as its new President. Alan Murray brings with him a wealth of
experience in the safety and health industry, having been a prominent leader in
the field since the 1980s.

SGUK, a registered charity originally established in 1947, plays a crucial role
in promoting awareness and knowledge about work-related health and safety risks.
It achieves this by bringing together diverse groups of people to share
important messages, experiences, concerns, and solutions. Local Safety Groups,
some of which date back to the 1920s and '30s, are a well-established part of
the UK's health and safety system. An important part of their work is educating
and supporting non-specialists who have health and safety responsibilities as
part of their wider roles, including directors and partners of small firms,
general managers, HR managers, contractors, and suppliers.

Alan Murray has been the Chief Executive of the British Safety Industry
Federation (BSIF) since 2014 and recently completed his second term as President
of the European Safety Federation in April 2023. Under his leadership, the BSIF
has been dedicated to supporting those who ensure workplace safety and health,
advocating for the appreciation of safety and health as a critical force for
good in the UK. The BSIF, through initiatives like the Registered Safety
Suppliers Scheme, works to ensure quality safety products are available through
capable suppliers.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Alan and the BSIF were instrumental in addressing
PPE challenges, supporting authorities in sourcing fit-for-purpose PPE,
demonstrating his leadership in times of crisis.

Safety Groups UK initiatives

SGUK is committed to reducing the toll of deaths, injuries, and illnesses caused
by work activities. Despite the UK's reputation as a world leader in workplace
health and safety, significant challenges remain, with £13 billion lost annually
due to preventable occupational injuries and diseases. Every year, over a
million people suffer from work-related illnesses, thousands die from past
exposures to hazardous substances, and hundreds are killed or severely injured
in the workplace or on the roads.

SGUK’s initiatives include:

•          Recognising best practices with awards.

•          Promoting Group membership at health and safety exhibitions.

•          Supporting Groups in their activities.

•          Forming partnerships with other health and safety organisations to
promote initiatives.

•          Working with sponsors to reach out to small firms and help change
behaviour.

SGUK holds up to three open meetings annually, including an annual awards
ceremony in January, and organises special seminars and events on key topics.

About Alan Murray

Alan Murray’s extensive background in the safety and health industry positions
him as an ideal leader for SGUK. His vision and commitment to transforming the
safety industry supply chain and supporting those dedicated to workplace safety
and health are aligned with SGUK’s mission to promote health and safety
awareness and education across the UK.
