  • Alfred Robens, baron Robens de Woldingham, PC (18 décembre 1910-27 juin 1999), parfois connu sous le nom Alf Robens, est un syndicaliste, un homme politique travailliste et industriel anglais. Ses ambitions politiques, y compris son aspiration à devenir Premier ministre, ont été contrariées par un mauvais timing; et il tourne ses ambitions vers l'industrie, passant une décennie comme président du National Coal Board, puis dirige une enquête qui aboutit au rapport Robens sur la santé, la sécurité et le bien-être au travail. Son point de vue est paternaliste, mais plus tard dans la vie, il s'est éloigné de son premier socialisme pour se tourner vers le Parti conservateur. Sa réputation reste ternie par son incapacité à prévoir et à prévenir la catastrophe d'Aberfan, suivie par des actions (fr)
  • Alfred Robens, barone Robens di Woldingham (Manchester, 18 dicembre 1910 – Chertsey, 27 giugno 1999), è stato un sindacalista, politico e dirigente d'azienda britannico. Le sue ambizioni politiche, inclusa quella di diventare Primo ministro, furono frustrate da un cattivo tempismo; dirottò così le sue energia nell'industria: per un decennio fu presidente del National Coal Board e in seguito guidò un'importante inchiesta che portò alla pubblicazione del rapporto Robens su salute, sicurezza e benessere sul lavoro. La sua visione era paternalistica, ma in seguito, si allontanò dalle sue iniziali idee prossime al socialismo e si avvicinò al Partito Conservatore. La sua reputazione rimane offuscata dal suo fallimento nel prevedere e prevenire il disastro di Aberfan e dalle sue azioni ampiamente (it)
