Martin Drury, risk services director of corporate insurance and risk management broker Alliance, has been appointed to the CBI's health and safety steering group.
The steering group was founded by the CBI in October 2004 to garner business opinion and advice regarding policy, legislation and best practice issues in health and safety in order to best inform CBI members, as well as influence UK and EU policy.
Drury said: “It's a great privilege to be asked to represent UK plc with regard to such an important issue. I have worked in health and safety for more than 15 years and I understand very well the enormous impact that policy and legislation has on all UK businesses.
"My role on the committee will enable me to put forward the views of Alliance and our customers to ensure that a sensible balance is struck between having the necessary legislation in place to protect firms and their employees and customers while not compromising their business competitiveness.”
