Dear Subscriber...


Welcome to December’s ICHCA Insights, your digest of ICHCA highlights. This month we lead with our member benefits brochure; a reminder of the opportunities that you can call upon as part of ICHCA. The more that you make use of our services, the greater the benefit to you and the better we become at sharing learning and experience across our community. Sharing innovation is crucial to our mission and we are delighted to report a record number of entries to the 2021 TT Club Innovation in Safety Awards. The judges are busily working through the exciting and thought-provoking ideas. Plans are underway for the awards ceremony in February. We have also updated our website with a new page for Technical Enquiries. Members can submit practical, real-world, questions in confidence to our community of experts. The results are posted on the new page in digest form. They are living documents and can be updated as the latest information and experiences come to light.
Finally, we take the opportunity in this issue to say a warm thank you to Sergio Galvan-Montesdeoca on his retirement from the ICHCA Board after long and dedicated service. We are proud of what has gone before and because of the work of Sergio and many others we can be ambitious for ICHCA’s future.

May we take this opportunity on behalf of the Board and team to wish you greetings of the season and a safe, peaceful and prosperous new year.
Richard Steele
CEO, ICHCA International

4. Sergio Galvan-Montesdeoca Retires From The ICHCA Board

Sergio Galvan-Montesdeoca

In this issue of ICHCA Insights we wanted to make a special point of marking the retirement of Sergio Galvan-Montesdeoca.

Sergio was a Director and Board member of ICHCA International from 2008 to 2021 which is an extraordinary and valued contribution to the successes and life of ICHCA by any measure.
Sergio fully committed to the principles of ICHCA International, advocating for sharing good practice and exchange of learning within the ICHCA community.
A superb ambassador for ICHCA and for raising health and safety standards across the industry, Sergio was integrally involved in our engagement with the Canaries and Africa region. His tireless efforts to grow membership there and to provide them with great workshops and seminar opportunities will be recognisable to all who encountered him or experienced those events.
