The Paper and Board Industry Advisory Committee (PABIAC) is a tripartite partnership between the Health and Safety Executive trade unions, industry and HSE. It represents the following sectors of industry:
- papermaking/tissue making
- paper conversion/corrugated sector
- paper recycling
The main PABIAC committee meets twice a year and the minutes of these meetings are posted online.
The PABIAC committee will monitor industry’s performance in relation to health and safety through reports from PABIAC industry delivery committees. Where issues relating to health and safety in the sectors are raised they will they will work with the sector committees to try and address those issues.
There are 3 PABIAC Industry Delivery Committees (IDCs) representing paper/tissue manufacturing, corrugated and recovered paper sectors. They meet regularly during the year to devise, develop and implement actions to achieve the strategic objectives. The IDCs have input from industry, unions and HSE where necessary.
