Welcome colleagues to the Health and Safety section of the new Northern Ireland Combine branch web site. For those who may not already know me my name is Sean Doherty and I am the Communication Workers Union Area Health and Safety representative for the N Ireland region. It is my remit to look after and uphold the health safety and welfare of all our members here in N Ireland.
In the N Ireland region there are 28 delivery offices, 45 SPDOs ( sub offices where many of our members work), the N Ireland mail centre and the cash handling and distribution centre at Heron Road. A vast area to cover but I do so with the utmost pride.
I am fully trained to professional standard to help our members many of whom who suffer from stress, depression and mental health issue,s and all interactions and meetings with individuals and myself are conducted professionally and in the strictest confidence.
I am also fully trained as a tutor with the CWU and the Belfast Metropolitan College and over the years I have been responsible for training many union reps not just for the C WU but for all trade unions within N Ireland.
I have been a union member since I first joined the post office thirty years ago and have held several positions within our branch, PHG Chairman, Royal Mail Section Sec and branch Treasurer. I have been the Area Health and Safety representative for N Ireland for sixteen years now and I am very proud to be able to help all our members and meet and speak with Royal Mail management on their behalf.
My remit also allows me to investigate accidents, dangerous occurrances, health and safety welfare complaints and attend health and safety meetings with Royal Mail on a regular basis to raise all issue,s on behalf of our members. I also work very closely with the enforcement agencies, the Health and Safety Excutive and the Environmental Health and all our local councils on your behalf..
In closing I would like to thank a few people, to the web designer congratulations on a job well done, and to the branch for finally getting the web site up and running. I would also like to say a big thankyou to Jody Little my Area Rep Subsitute who also works very hard on all your behalf and covers for me when I am on leave and finally to all my workplace safety reps who are my eyes and ears in all our units, and do a great job on a daily basis.
Finally my phone number and email are now at the top of this page please feel free to contact me if you need help.
Yours In Solidarity
