Hazardex 2019 Conference Presentations - Major Hazards Leadership: Past lessons and future challenges
Author : Dr Jo Nettleton - Environment Agency Deputy Director, Radioactive Substances & Installations Regul.
19 November 2018
Jo will look back over the experiences of her 30 year career, working in and regulating sectors and industries that do great things for individuals, communities, the environment and the economy....but which, without great leadership, also have the potential to cause great harm.
These include healthcare, research, nuclear, chemical and biological industries. There are some great lessons (all too often learned from devastating events) that we ignore at our peril if we are to meet challenges such as EU Exit, climate change and the new political world, as well as to maximise the opportunities presented by government strategies for industry, clean growth, clean air and a thriving environment. This presentation will explore some of those from a personal perspective.
