During this time he focussed on the regulation of health and safety in the plastics, rubber and textile manufacturing, including a two year period in a chemicals group prior to the formation of HID. He moved to London in the late 90s where he gained experience in printing, fairground safety and local authority inspection. The latter led to a secondment to HSE policy unit dealing with the regulation of local authorities in the early 2000s. He then managed a HSE general inspection team covering northwest London 2004 – 2009/10. Then in 2010-13 he worked on loan to the DWP providing advice to the Minister of Employment where he was involved in the Government led Lofstedt and Triennial Reviews and subsequent implementation.
