Mike Flannery
Insurance – Friend or Foe?
For years, insurance and health and safety seem to have been somewhat at odds. Only in the largest organisations do you find arrangements where both are viewed as equal and mutually beneficial partners in the management of risk. The presentation will examine practical, tried and tested ways of leveraging your H&S programme to achieve significant impact on your insurances and how to use your insurers to assist in progressing H&S programmes that may benefit from external oomph! (and finance). download seminar

Kevin Bridges
Corporate Manslaughter/ Homicide – The Impact
The Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 came 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 has 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 download seminar
13:00 to 13:45
Sarah Brown
Asbestos Campaign
The presentation will feature an update on current asbestos issues and recent initiatives, including a summary of the HSE's asbestos campaign which will launch with national media coverage on 13 October 2008, based on the success of the pilot media campaign run in NW England . The campaign is designed to raise awareness amongst tradesmen (i.e. those engaged in building repair, maintenance and refurbishment, such as plumbers, electricians and joiners) of the risk of exposure to the substantial amounts of asbestos still contained in many buildings. The presentation will also focus on the work that HSE has done nationally with key stakeholders (such as Trade Unions, Trade Associations, DIY chains and Victim Support Groups) to promote the campaign, its messages and to distribute campaign materials. download seminar

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”. download seminar
