| S2A | 09:30-10:15 | Samantha Kee : Kee Anatomy Consultancy | Good Health and Well-Being in the Workplace = Good Business. | A look at the health and cost benefits of involving the workforce in the prevention and management of MSDs in the workplace. Through Sid the skeleton, we will discuss three scenarios of how management can design a working environment that allows an 18-year old apprentice, a 63-year man who is about to retire, and a 4.11' lady to work safely. If industry is going to effectively manage the impact of MSDs on their business, the workforce has to play an integral role in the design and development of health and safety working practices.

| S2C | 12.50-13.35 | Sarah Cudmore: Cudmore Consulting | Behavioural Safety | An overview of what is meant by culture and what this means in practical terms; how an organisation's culture affects the behaviours of people in it; then how you can start thinking where you are in terms of culture and what you need to change, why, and the expected outcomes of changing it. The approach fits well with the ISO management process. The information in the seminar is presented in 'plain English', removing a lot of the mystique and jargon around safety culture and behavioural safety. It is a pragmatic way to view, assess and approach organisational changes
