Engaging People with a Cultural and Behavioural Approach to Safety
Sometimes it can appear that looking after people's safety is so hard. Often we haven't got everyone's buy-in because the attitudes, values and beliefs (Culture) of everyone in the organisation are not always aligned. Perhaps, also, we do not sell safety as well as we could. This presentation looks at some of these problems and offers some solutions that really can make a difference.

Ian Samson

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”.

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.

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.
