Corporate Manslaughter/ Homicide – The Impact
The Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 will come into force on 6 April 2008 with the stated aim of making it easier to convict companies and other large organisations where serious management failures result in death. The Sentencing Advisory Panel have suggested that convicted organisations should face a substantive fine - between 2.5 and 10% of their annual turnover.
The presentation will introduce the Act and the new statutory offence of corporate manslaughter/homicide and its anticipated impact on corporate and personal liability.

HAV Risk Management Best Practice
A definitive and pragmatic guide to current best practice coupled with a thorough de-bunking of the prevalent and costly myths associated with vibration measurement and PPE.

Speaker- Liz Skelton
Stress Management
A total of 13.8 million working days were lost due to work- related stress in 2006/7. However, many employers have a healthier appetite for addressing their employees' lifestyle issues such as diet, exercise and smoking habits than addressing the causes of work-related ill-health. If firms really want to improve the health of their workforce, they need to tactically address problems like stress, ergonomic issues and poor office design - the issues that are really making their staff ill. The presentation addresses the practical application of the HSE's stress management standards and looks at making the link between good health and good business.

Protection against burn injury from electric arc
The imminent introduction of an IEC standard for garments, updated test methods for types of arcs and the introduction of a revised European Standard to protect against heat and flame could affect many organisations whose employees are at risk of burn injury from electric arc. Elaina Harvey, protective clothing specialist from DuPont, manufacturer of heat-and-flame protective fibre NOMEX®, will discuss:
- What the changes in legislation will mean for end-users and protective garment manufacturers
- The hazards in electric arc
- Risk assessment
- The importance of why employees need to be protected by FR clothing
- The selection of PPE.

Industrial Accident Investigation - Intentional ‘At Risk’ Behaviour.
As ardent supporters of leading edge accident prevention initiatives, Principal People again devote their seminars to the work of the Institute of Industrial Accident Investigators. The Director of R&D at the Institute will present data and findings that are currently enabling clients to pre-empt and counter the potential of worker violation without a clear understanding of the true extent of which, organisations are unlikely to be either inclined, or prepared, to counter it.

Hearing Protection- Just Legal or Just Right?
With all the confusion of Exposure Limits, Action Values, Real World Attenuation and Correction Factors, what are we trying to achieve in a hearing Conservation Programme? The proposals from EN 458 and the HSE guidance are considered to find a sound path through the maze.

Speaker – Nigel Maddison, Inburex Consulting
Electrostatic Discharges- The Hazards and How to Manage Them.
The presentation will explain the phenomena of electrostatic charging and the formation of hazardous discharges. A procedure for assessing electrostatic hazards, which can occur both with plant equipmentand, more importantly,during manual operations, will be described. The selection of appropriate safety measures to meet the requirements of the ATEX Directive will be discussed together with the requirements for antistatic clothing and gloves specified in new European Standard EN 1149-5.

The correct method of selection and use of chemical protective clothing
When it comes to choosing protective coveralls, specifications are often littered with scientific terms that users are unable to put into practice context. Chemical protective clothing specialist Ian Samson will cut through the technical jargon to discuss best practice in the selection of limited use protective garments, and once selected, how a protective garment must be put on (donned) and removed (doffed) to avoid the potential for cross-contamination of hazardous substances after the wearer has left the “danger zone”.
