3 May 2004 - New HSE Regional Director for Midlands Region
Marcia Davies has been appointed by the HSE as the new regional Director for the Midlands region, replacing Linda Williams who is now at the HSE’s Railway Inspectorate in Birmingham.
The Midlands region covers Birmingham, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Worcester, Stoneleigh, Nottingham and Northampton.
Marcia Davies commented on her new post:
“I am delighted to be returning to the Midlands region and am looking forward to the challenges of my new post. HSE, together with the local authorities, is responsible for the regulation of risks to health and safety arising from work activity in Britain. Our mission is to protect people's health and safety by ensuring risks in the changing workplace are properly controlled. I am looking forward to helping and supporting all HSE’s staff across the West and East Midlands in carrying out this vital role. We want health and safety, sensibly applied, to be seen by everyone as fundamental to a civilised society. It underpins our social and economic success. For that reason the whole health and safety system needs to be involved, not just the regulating authorities, and I look forward to working more closely with others who share our goals.”
