S1B	11:10 - 11:55	Dr Rosemary Campbell CMIOSH, Independent Health, Safety and Environment Contractor	Competence and Getting the Right Things Done	Decades of bitter experience and investigations have increased knowledge and understanding of what causes work related injuries and illness. The annual numbers of fatal accidents have fallen, yet cultures still vary widely, with workplaces ranging from those with strong and well informed leaders demanding continuous improvement, to others where basic and often inexpensive controls are not in place and the "we�ve always done it that way� and "it�ll never happen here� attitudes persist. Rosemary will share some of her experiences and make a case for improved competence and commitment at all levels, to narrow the gap between the boardroom and the shop floor and challenge the complacency which can arise from periods of nothing very serious happening, yet.

There are now more areas to consider, more industries that might have confined spaces and more emphasis on tasks that create a hazardous area that might be a confined space.
