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
Ian Waldram: SHE - Quality Ltd
Talk and Walk – the art of OSH leadership
It is now widely accepted that good OSH results are linked to effective leadership at the top of an organisation. But what characterises an effective OSH leader, compared to an ineffective one? And who needs to show such leadership in order to turn average OSH results into outstanding ones?
12:30 – 13:15
Laura Cameron: Partner - McGrigors LLP
Update on Health & Safety Law in Scotland
The development of Health and Safety law in recent times has been fast and far reaching. This presentation will explore the developments in areas such as the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide legislation, the prosecution of individuals at senior levels in organisations and the penalties imposed for failing to get it right.
14:00 – 14:45
Harry Frew: Regional Secretary - UCATT Scotland
Overview on Worker Involvement and the Health and Safety Priorities for the Construction Industry in Scotland
The presentation will cover worker engagement, showing the benefits of partnership working and the need to address the accident culture within the Scottish construction industry.

Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE): Selection, Use and Maintenance
Correctly selected, well fitted RPE will help your employees stay protected. This seminar will help you to make the most of your investment, get the level of protection you need and bring you up to date with current market guidance in this field.
11.45 – 12.30am
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 – 14.00pm
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.
