BSC SEMINAR PROGRAMME
09.45 -10.30
Dr Paul Stollard: Director - HSE Scotland
Overview of the Health and Safety Challenges facing Scotland
The health and safety of workers in Scotland has improved significantly since the Health and safety at Work Act was introduced over thirty years ago. However, too many Scottish workers are still being injured, in some cases fatally, or having their health damaged by work. Key industries where the Health and Safety Executive continues to seek significant improvements are construction, agriculture and waste and recycling. The HSE also continues to play a vital role in maintaining the safety of such major risks as the nuclear sites, the off-shore and on-shore oil and gas industries. A new challenge is working alongside those developing large scale renewables projects.
11:00 – 11:45
Colin Johnstone: Safety Advisor - Dawn Group
Safety Culture and Behavioural Safety in Construction
The presentation will cover evaluating the challenges and benefits between operating a safety management system or a behavioural safety system to support & maintain a positive safety culture in a construction environment, from the perspective of a Principal contractor.
12:30 – 13:15
Andrew Sharman: Divisional Manager Safety - Health and Wellbeing RBS
Establishing Clear Communication in Times of Organiational Change
Change is a certainty for all organisations, either as a result of the economic downturn, the impact of globalisation or, simply part of a competitive business landscape.
Many of the risks inherent in a significant organisational change or crisis are easy to recognise. In tough times, there is a natural tendency to retrench, cut costs, and wait things out. But organisations may overlook or even shy away from the growth opportunities that lie within the challenge.
Companies that first manage the risks and then harness the opportunities of crisis or change in a positive, strategic and speedy manner can gain additional strength and emerge as winners in safety. This session presents a selection of sophisticated communication techniques and principles in a straightforward, practical and understandable way. Specifically, we'll consider health & safety communication during times of corporate change, improving safety connectivity following a global downturn, developing capability or raising awareness and the New Rules of employee engagement.
14:00 – 14:45
Nigel Bryson: Bryson Consulting
Making Worker Involvement Effective
People support what they help create. Effective worker involvement improves both health and safety standards and business performance. Using examples from successful case studies, key methods and techniques for creating effective worker involvement will be presented. These can assist any organisation to improve their health and safety performance and workforce communication.

10.30 – 11.15
Ian Samson: Territory Manager UK & Ireland Training Specialist (EMEA), Dupont Personal Protection
Dressing and Undressing Procedures for Chemical Clothing with other PPE
The presentation will look at how to dress and undress (Donning and Doffing) chemical protective coverall while wearing other PPE. Other PPE can be gloves, footwear, respirators and half and full face masks .When dressing, it is important to dress in the correct order in a safe environment and to check that all is correct before proceeding into the working environment. After leaving the working environment, it is now more important to undress safely as you may be contaminated from the work place and you do not want to be exposed to chemical or dusts when undressing. Following simple steps, it can be shown how to minimise this and also in what order should the PPE removed.
11.45 – 12.30
Forbes McGregor: Sales Manager, Scotland, Ansell Occupational Healthcare
Hand and Arm Awareness
Workers performing maintenance duties in industries such as automotive,OEM, metal, chemical, etc. are often unaware that substances like oil,solvents, mastics, etc. are chemicals that can cause skin irritation and allergies. A dedicated hand protection solution that seamlessly combines chemical protection and dexterity/tactility is, therefore, a must to protect the hands against these and many other hazards during maintenance applications. Based on deep industry insight and hand protection expertise and experience, Ansell can help companies select the most appropriate solutions from its wide glove range, thus improving both safety and productivity while cutting costs.
13:15 – 14:00
Alan McArthur: Technical Affairs Engineer, 3M Occupational Health and Environmental Safety
The Eye - Hazards, Health Effects and Protective Solutions
The presentation will provide an understanding of the eye, highlight the health effects from chemical, mechanical and radiation (UV, Infrared and visible light) hazards in the workplace and discuss the selection of appropriate protective eyewear.
