Pierre Shedleur

A new chairman of the Board of Directors was named: Pierre Shedleur, He hoped to escalate the number of concrete projects carried out, and, as he himself put it in his message in the IRSST’s annual activity report, to act where it matters most..

In May, the IRSST hosted the annual meeting of the Sheffield Group, an international association of directors of occupational health and safety (OHS) research institutes. Research centres from Germany, the United Kingdom, Australia, Spain, Finland, France, Norway, the Netherlands, Poland and Sweden were represented. The directors agreed on the need for better coordination of their efforts to share research results and certain resources.
