[Parm]

Occupational hygienist, I get excited by looking at what people are exposed to at work, how the exposure can damage your health and what control measures are required in mitigation. After a highly vocational qualification from uni I spent 25 years at the same consultancy firm, I travelled the world and worked up to a technical Director. I got fed up of constantly staying away so I now work for the government as a Specialist Inspector of Health and Safety. Mostly involved in complex investigations and prosecutions
