Health & Safety '09 goes North
May 26th 2009 Following a great start at Sandown Park, Esher in February, which saw an increase in visitor numbers of 15% compared to 2008, the second in the Health and Safety ‘09 series of regional Health and Safety events, sponsored by DuPont, will take place at The Reebok Stadium in Bolton on the 6th and 7th October 2009. With a free seminar programme, free exhibition and free parking, Health and Safety 09 – North enables people at all levels to find the latest in health and safety information and products in an incredibly cost-effective way.
One of the main attractions for visitors to the event is the free conference and seminar programme which includes sessions organised by the event’s official educational partner, the British Safety Council (BSC). The seminar topics included have been specifically chosen by BSC to provide maximum benefit to the visitor and, at Health and Safety 09 North for example, this includes a new seminar presented by Neil Stone from BSC entitled ‘Helping Young People Manage the Risks That They Will Face in the workplace’. According to BSC, young people entering the world of work are twice as likely to have an accident at work as their adult counterparts. This seminar will survey the measures put in place by BSC, and others, to raise young peoples’ awareness of the risk of injury and ill-health.
Also on the BSC’s seminar programme is a presentation from Nigel Bryson of Bryson Consulting entitled ‘People Support What They Help Create’. Nigel’s presentation will identify the business benefits that effective workforce involvement brings to health and safety issues such as reductions in accidents and ill-health and increases in productivity or service performance. Based on case studies, the presentation will identify how effective workforce involvement can help drive continuous improvement of health and safety performance in organisations.

Tim Else, event director, says of the events: “By working in partnership with the UK’s leading safety suppliers and service providers, as well as the industry’s most respected organisations, we are able to deliver an innovative format which is ideally suited to today’s information hungry, time-poor professional. This, combined with elements such as the free parking makes the Health and Safety 09 events extremely cost-effective for visitors.”
