British Safety Council to host 11th Annual Conference

British Safety Council to host 11th Annual Conference

The British Safety Council is holding its 11th Annual Conference Health, safety and wellbeing in the modern workplace on Wednesday, 16 October 2019 at Congress Centre in London.

This year’s conference speakers will share with delegates the latest thinking on key workplace issues as such as mental health, wellbeing leadership, new regulatory changes and the implications of the new regulatory framework for fire safety management post-Grenfell. The experts will also discuss best approaches for managing wellbeing in the workplace and improving employee participation.

Mike Robinson, Chief Executive of the British Safety Council, said: “Many employers are already focussing on wellbeing as means of preventing future injuries and workplace-related ill health. It has never been more important than now that UK employers have robust health and safety frameworks in place for every aspect of life and work, including the traditional risks. Safeguarding these frameworks will be a priority when Britain leaves the EU.

“We are delighted that among our keynote speakers are Professor David Fishwick, Chief Medical Officer at HSE, and Professor Sir Cary Cooper CBE.”

Professor Fishwick is an expert in the work environment and respiratory health. Together with his role at HSE, he holds posts with Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and the University of Sheffield. He has co-authored several publications on health and wellbeing at work. At the conference, he will discuss the effective management of workplace health-related conditions with specific reference to clinical case studies.
