Evans

Independent Consultant @United Kingdom Lubricants Association Ukla Ltd

I recently retired from the Health and Safety Executive Science Directorate after 20 years of managing research into the causation and prevention of occupational lung and skin disease. I am now working part-time as a Consultant. I have started to work with the UK Lubricants Association to support their work in developing good practices and safe management of metalworking fluids for machining. This continues collaboration with the UKLA that started in 2005 and which led several years ago to the publication of a good practice guide for the UK industry ( In my new role supporting the UKLA I will be helping to develop educational films which will help to convey good practice with MWFs, I will continue to work closely with academic, industry and regulatory colleagues to assess the future safe use of new manufacturing methods (automated management of metalworking fluids) and the development of advanced manufacturing and materials (e.g, graphene).
