Industry Advisory Committee (PABIAC) acknowledge and are addressing by means of
a framework for action with key areas such as the following:
The PABIAC, comprises of a committee of representatives from the
CBI, TUC and the HSE and base their framework for action on HSG 65 "Successful
Health and Safety Management" concept, which aims at reducing ill health in

paper industries.
There will be a clearly defined timetable for end results within
each project, as PABIAC are keen to develop further measures of health and
safety performance, covering management systems and culture and technology.
