Teaching staff to lift from a bend the legs, straighten the back principal may help but is not suitable for all situations. The speaker will describe a process carried out within his company to identify manual handling problems and assessments to identify not just the risk but practical solutions to implementing a safe system of work. All aspects of safety are considered within the presentation including the use of personal protective equipment. view conference
11:15 to 12:00
David Thomas
Working at Height
Falls from height are the major cause of death within the construction industry. The Work at Height Regulations 2005 apply to all work at height where there is a risk of a fall liable to cause personal injury. They place duties on employers, the self-employed, and any person who controls the work of others to the extent they control the work.
An overriding principle is to do all that is reasonably practicable to prevent anyone falling. The presentation will cover all aspects of safety when working at heights, setting out the simple hierarchy for managing and selecting equipment for work at height and outlining some of the fundamental measures required for a safe system of work. view conference
13:00 to 13:45
Peter Wilson
Noise Management Best Practice
The new Control of Noise at Work regulations not only change the Action Values significantly, but also introduce a very substantial shift in the approach that employers must take. This presentation provides a pragmatic guide (with case studies) to the changes in best practice in assessment, PPE and noise control – and where the latter can be made self-financing. view conference

Paul Difford
Principal People
Industrial Accident Investigation: The Problems with Causal Analysis and the Classification and Remediation of ‘Unsafe Acts’.
Amongst other things, the Institute furthers the development and professional standing of Lead Investigators; the principle output of whom is the identification and logical verification of cause and the recommendation of measurable intervention strategies.
Following defensible processes, ‘unsafe acts’ continue to predominate as the significant factors in many accidents; however, employers are often unfamiliar with their proper analysis, classification and remediation and default to the remedy of an associated regulatory breach.
Analysing human error is essential and this session considers the classification of ‘unsafe acts’ and the remedial implementation issues that can prevent organisations from benefiting from their identification as cause. view conference
11:15 to 11:45
David Staniforth
Ansell Occupational Healthcare Europe
Measuring Risk Protection, Maximising Safety and Increasing Productivity
Clever industry managers and their teams may contribute to a company’s bottom line through a combination of safety, productivity and standardisation.
Hear how, by using performance indicator tools that optimise workstation, production unit and process analysis, companies can access the information required to make the appropriate choices. The right methodology can provide managers seeking continuous improvement opportunities with useful hidden data, information and, thus, knowledge. view conference
12:00 to 12:30
Jim Findlay
W.L. Gore
Personal Protective Equipment ( PPE) what does CE marking actually mean.
All garments worn in the workplace for Personal Protection whether for Rain and Foul Weather Protection, plus High Visibility, or other physical protection eg Heat and flame should carry CE marks and reference to particular test methods.
This workshop will help you understand what these Norms mean discussing the level of performance and protection provided but what the differences are. After this workshop you will be able to make an informed choice about the level of performance you need. The session will enable you to understand the difference in performance of different garments that you wear to keep you dry and will show you, for example, the differences that a performance foul weather rain jacket can make to your working day. The workshop will also discuss the importance and benefits of windchill protection offered by a new range of clothing for use in the work environment. view conference
14:00 to 14:30
Mike Denton
Aearo
Selecting Hearing Protection & What Those Numbers Mean
The correct selection of hearing protection can be difficult and now covers more users than ever. An explanation of the figures supplied with hearing protectors and how to use them to your advantage will be backed by a comprehensive description of both the benefits and drawbacks of all types of hearing protectors. Armed with this knowledge you will be in a better position to select the most suitable protection and ensure stronger compliance.view conference
14:45 to 15:45
Ian Samson
DuPont
European Legislation and how it affects choosing the correct PPE
Selecting a protective garment that is fit for purpose can often be time-consuming and arduous because individual factors must always be taken into consideration when assessing the risks. Ian Samson will give advice and guidance on what to look for in Type 5 and 6 chemical protective garments, explain the European Standards and discuss the importance of introducing “donning” and “doffing” procedures in the workplace. view conference
