An inspector calls – checking up on health and safety

LAST year, health and safety (H&S) inspector Morag Irwin launched the UK's first proactive H&S inspections of veterinary practices in her local area. Here, she describes how the project arose and was put into action, while, on page 379, Martin Stelfox, a vet on the receiving end of an inspection, recounts how an initially daunting prospect turned into a positive experience.
