3rd Annual OHS conference and workshop

Right now, what company can afford an incident that reduces its workforce’s productivity?  Or negative media coverage?  Or a fine – or worse – from the HSE?

Retaining your organization’s focus on Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) issues in the current environment is challenging – but never more important.  Good health and safety is still good business.

The recession creates additional pressures for the health and safety manager as operational corners are cut and employee stress rises.

Likely topics for the 2009 agenda include:

• Latest good-practice guidance on how to tackle recession-related OH&S issues effectively
• Case studies showing you how to use standards and guidance efficiently 
• An update on the likely impact of the HSE strategy review on your organization
• Real life examples of how to justify new/existing OH&S initiatives and demonstrate ROI
• Advice on preparing for upcoming trends in OH&S issues including
  - psychosocial behaviours
  - stress
  - rehabilitation.

This year, the programme is likely to include sessions and case studies streamed by level of experience or by industry, enabling you to learn from your peers, hear what the experts have to say, and share experiences, as well as enhance your networking opportunities.

Speakers include leading OH&S practitioners and representatives from the committee that created the 18000 series of Health & Safety standards.

Please check back for updates as the date, venue and programme are confirmed.
