The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) are supporting the British Safety Council (BSC) Health and Safety Best Practice Exchange events, with the first being held in January which achieved a resounding 93% success rate from attendees.

Due to such a positive reception, the Northwest is set to host to the second Best Practice Exchange event on 5 September, which will again be supported by the HSE.

Delegates are able to tailor make their own schedule. Organised discussion groups form the main activity of the day as well as the following:

  • Practical workshops
  • One to one meetings
  • Case study presentations
  • Demonstrations
  • Valuable networking opportunities

This coming event will include:

  • A presentation on Corporate Killing from a legal perspective
  • A presentation on health and wellness culture from event hosts adidas
  • The opportunity to attend taster sessions for the BSC’s new suite of Level 2 Risk Assessment courses
  • A demonstration on the free SafetyNetwork service
  • The opportunity to have some personal wellness checks and health / lifestyle advice themselves

David Ballard, Chief Executive of the British Safety Council commented:

“The British Safety Council’s members have a wealth of knowledge and experience, and we are very pleased to offer a structured and effective means of sharing that knowledge. Moreover, it is hoped that by allowing safety professionals to talk honestly and openly with each other, workplaces industry-wide will become safer places to be”.
