To: All Branches

Dear Colleagues,

The Health, Safety & Environment Department have been advised by the University of Salford about their upcoming Health and Safety Conferencewhich is taking place17^th November at Adelphi House in Manchester.

This is the third Annual Health and Safety Conference and Exhibition organised by the University of Salford and the event has a variety of expert speakers from across public, private, Trade Union and charity sectors making presentations. These include Shaun Davis, outgoing Royal Mail Group Director of Safety, Health and Wellbeing.

A wide number of topics will be covered on the day, and delegates can expect speakers to discuss challenges, successes and case studies around the interest areas as follows:-

The 2016 launched new 5-year HSE Strategy “Help Great Britain Work Well” focuses on six key strategic themes: the importance of highlighting and tackling the cost of work-related ill health; wider recognition of the business benefits of proportionate approaches to risk; simple guidance to help SMEs manage their health and safety responsibilities; design-in’ effective risk management of new technology; promoting Britain’s health and safety approach worldwide.
In 2013/14 workplace injury and illness cost the UK £14.3 billion, with the majority of the financial burden falling on the individual, followed by the government and the employer. This huge cost can be reduced through more effective health and safety practices.
The 2016 HSE “Help Great Britain Work Well” strategy highlights the need to maintain the advancements made in safety practices, whilst focusing on giving health the same priority.
