What's in a name?

    At its conference the Safety Institute of Australia chairman announced it intends to change its name, in part because the current name does not acknowledge the health side of H&S. Consultation to follow before a decision on a new name.
    An opportunity for NZISM to reconsider its own name, for the same reason? (Also, 'institute' is a little stuffy, don't you think?)

    As Safeguard readers of the last couple of years may recall, I've been quietly pushing the phrase 'healthy work design' as a concise statement of what everyone in H&S is doing, or should be doing. Because safety is a subset of health. Health comes first. And who wouldn't want to introduce themselves as a healthy work designer?
    Hence: The NZ Association for Healthy Work Design. Discuss!
