Chris Abbey is the Senior Vice President HSE at Altrad UK, Ireland & Nordics. After leaving the armed forces, Chris got involved in Health & Safety literally, by accident. A life changing event, involving fire and an explosion changed his perspective about risk, behaviour and people forever. Now working at senior levels and internationally, his experience amplifies his clear mandate - to prevent loss, damage, and physical or mental injury at work.

Both mentally and physically - we’ll hear how Chris has shaped his purpose and drive towards a healthy workplace.
