SAFETY EXCHANGE OFFERS NEW WAY TO GATHER INFORMATION
RoSPA is offering safety professionals a more flexible way to gather all the information they need by attending one event and concentrating only on the issues that concern them.
The RoSPA Safety Awareness Exchange provides a fresh approach to learning about health safety by allowing individuals to decide their own programme from an exhaustive list of topics.
Sixteen discussion tables, early-bird briefings and workshops will be available for them to select from at the Hinckley Island Hotel, Leicestershire, on Friday, December 2.
Diane Preece, RoSPA Events Manager, said: “The wide choice of discussion tables means that visitors won’t have to waste valuable time sitting through issues which don’t affect them.
“Rolling sessions mean they can simply choose a table focusing on a topic that interests them and when they have the information they need they can move on to another subject of their choice.
“This new approach allows professionals to keep pace with key developments in their field while also sharing and comparing information with others.
“The tables will be led by specialists and people can dip in and out of as many discussions as they wish.”
Topics covered will include: the safe learner strategy; workforce involvement; behavioural safety; new fire risk assessment legislation; new noise legislation; updated construction design and management regulations; hand arm vibrations legislation; skin disease; working at height; site transport safety; manual handling/musculoskeletal disorders; occupational road risk; slips, trips and falls; electrical safety; ppe selection; and machinery and work equipment assessments.
Those arriving early can attend briefings on the “sensible safety” debate, developments in return to work and rehabilitation policies, corporate manslaughter and organisational readiness to investigate.
Workshops will cover corporate performance reporting, directors’ duties, developments in management systems auditing and rehabilitation and return to work.
Individuals can choose which and how many of the briefings, workshops and discussions they attend.
