John Channing M.Sc. (Chemistry), M.Sc. (Safety), LRIC., FIOSH. worked for 40 years as a safety professional with an international company. He has presented at national and international conferences and was a speaker at the World Congress of Safety and Health at Work in 2005. His employment majored on safety but environmental issues were subsequently added to his brief. His work focussed on methods and techniques that were used by non-professional people to improve the safety and environment of employees and public alike.
