MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS IN HEALTH and safety policy and practice will be debated at Health & Safety North 2016 . The two-day event , which returns to Bolton Arena on 12th- 13th October , is centred on an exhibition that includes a free-to-attend conference curated by the British Safety Council . The event also showcases leading trade bodies , manufacturers and distributors , training providers and consultants in the health and safety sector , providing visitors with access to key industry speakers who will offer unique insights into the health and safety industry .
Opening the conference programme , Shaun Knott , Manager at Casella , draws attention to the growing issue of occupational illnesses , which are a far bigger killer than industrial accidents . Shaun looks at the management of occupational exposure to dust and explains how businesses can better protect the workforce .
In addition , Zoe Betts , criminal regulatory lawyer from leading UK legal firm , Pinsent Masons LLP , assesses the Sentencing Council guidelines for health and safety offences , which was introduced in February , and the impact that increased fines has had on the industry .
Safe businesses are reliant on the entire workforce maintaining excellent standards of health and safety . The presentation from Nigel Bryson , Director of Bryson Consulting , references the Health and Safety Executive ’ s new strategy for health and safety in Great Britain and highlights how worker involvement is vital for effective health and safety management .
Another highly topical issue that will be of significant interest to businesses is the thorny issue of HSE ’ s fee for intervention ( FFI ). Kevin Bridges and Gareth McManus , partner and associate at legal firm Pinsent Masons LLP , offer some practical advice on what businesses should expect and how they can prepare from a visit from an HSE inspector . Highlighting the changes that have occurred as a result of FFI , they will answer the allimportant question – when can the HSE inspector charge a fee for their engagement with the business ?
The event will also benefit from a Safety Dialogue Theatre ; a panel discussion during which experts discuss the latest issues and open up the floor to questions from the audience .
