THE Health & Safety Event, a national exhibition and conference organized by Western Business Exhibitions, is giving visitors a sneak peak at its new conference programme, which has been independently authored by The International Institute of Risk & Safety Management (IIRSM).
Kären Clayton, director of Long Latency Health Risks Division at the Health and Safety Executive, will officially open the conference programme, which takes place from 24–26 March at the NEC in Birmingham.
Emma Cundiff, director at Peritis Ltd, a specialist management consultancy and training company, will build a bridge between enterprise risk management (ERM) and occupational safety and health in her seminar entitled ‘Developing a risk-management programme’.
Duncan Spencer, safety manager with John Lewis Partnership, will raise awareness of the recent focus on diesel exhaust risks within the workplace and the potential harm they can cause to workers’ health, by exploring what this could potentially mean for companies in his seminar entitled ‘Diesel exhaust risks’.
Dr Gayle Brewer, senior lecturer in psychology at the University of Central Lancashire, will deliver a seminar entitled ‘An introduction to psychosocial risks’, which will look at how stress, bullying and harassment are slowly becoming recognized as key occupational health challenges. Dr Brewer will help organizations understand and put in place different types of interventions in order to tackle these issues.
