Roundtables

Roundtable 1: Driver Safety

More information:

More than a quarter of road traffic accidents involve a “working” vehicle. Are your drivers competent? Are you ensuring the correct procedures and training are in place? Are you up to speed with new innovative technology that could save your driver’s lives? This discussion will be the engine for your education on Driver Safety.

Roundtable 2: VR/AR

Virtual or Augmentative reality in health and safety is now! We have a vision to reduce incidents and save lives through technological advancements.

More information:

Do you have the desire to practice real-life scenarios without the cost or the physical risk in order to further knowledge and reduce incidents? Well, that has become a visual reality with VR/AR providing health and safety professionals the opportunity to replicate real-life situations improving worker subconscious actions.

Roundtable 3: Fall Protection

Did you know that 41% of serious/fatal injuries in the workplace (April to April) were falls from heights? It can’t be taken lightly.

More information:

Worrying statistic right? What is your organisation doing to prevent this type of accident? This is a discussion to help decipher where you could be going wrong internally, the technology that you’re missing out on but most importantly how you can save workers who operate at a dangerous height.

Roundtable 5: PPE

Regulation changes forces Personal Protective Equipment to be at the forefront of all HSE professionals minds.

More information:

With an increase in fines and in some cases prison sentences, we have limited time to implement new correct PPE with the right certification within our organisations. These regulation changes along with advancements in materials/technology brings realisation there is no better time to discuss Personal Protective Equipment than now!

Roundtable 6: Compliance and Risk

How do we know we are 100% compliant? Do we challenge ourselves to know if we are compliant? – more importantly do you know the risks around not being compliant?

More information:

This interactive discussion will be around how you can understand your business challenges in competing with “occupational compliance”. Do you fully understand some of the latest legislation’s and the risk behind not knowing or even ignoring them? – believe us, that still happens!

Roundtable 7: Wearables

The Term “Smart PPE” is a term that is growing at an exceptional rate. Is this the front runner in reducing incidents whilst increasing productivity?

More information:

Smart PPE has been there, at the back of people’s minds within organisations, with the speed that technology is evolving – why isn’t it at the front? Smart PPE can be anything that is connected to the IoT and is able to deliver fast, efficient and accurate information to the worker and the system behind it. Collecting this data can intervene with hazardous situations or report when an employee is deviated from the expectations. The time is now.

Roundtable 8:

Where Technology meets Risk – Digitalization of Risk Management.

Roundtable 9:

The Hidden Cost of Substance Misuse in the Workplace….can you afford to ignore it?

More information:

It’s been reported that up to 3 million workers in the UK (3% of the total UK workforce) go to work under the influence of substances annually.

In 2018 UKAT (UK Addiction Treatment) revealed statistics showing 40% of industrial accidents are inked to substance misuse with an escalated cost to employers of a combined value of £36bn a year.

The UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) mandates that all employers have a legal duty to protect employees health, safety and welfare, This extends out to ‘understanding signs of drug and alcohol misuse will help you to manage health and safety risks in your workplace, develop a policy to deal with drug and alcohol-related problems and support your employees’.

Join our Eurofins Workplace Drug Testing team as we lead a round table discussion looking at statistics, signs, and symptoms of drugs misuse and approaches to implement effective policies.
