Louise Taggart named most inspirational health and safety person of the year

SCOTTISH workplace safety activist Louise Taggart has been named the most inspirational health and safety person of 2018 at this year’s Safety and Health Expo.

Ms Taggart worked as an employment lawyer until her brother Michael, an experienced electrician, died in a preventable electrical incident in 2005.

Her campaign to raise awareness and prevent similar incidents occurring in future led her to become a founder member of  campaign group Families Against Corporate Killers (Fack) and a trustee of Scottish Hazards.
