    Join us for an inspiring case study session where Michael O’Connor, former Group QEHSS Director at Mercury - a leading European contractor for data centres and advanced technology projects - shares how they significantly increased safety observations on-site through the deployment of easy-to-use Safety Kiosks.  

    Safety Kiosks help tackle the lack of engagement with safety, one of the biggest challenges organisations face in health and safety management. It enables on-site workers to provide real-time, anonymous feedback on safety concerns, which is then directly fed into reports and analytics for immediate action and analysis. 

    During this panel discussion, we will also see a Live Demonstration of a Touchscreen Safety Kiosk in action and discover how workers can share concerns in just a few clicks. 

     

    Exclusive Giveaway! 

    One lucky attendee will win a 43’’ Touchscreen Safety Kiosk and gain free lifetime access to EHSwise Safety Kiosk software! 

    Don't miss this opportunity to learn how innovative technology can drive a proactive safety culture in your organisation. 

     

     

    Eligibility for the Giveaway: 

    Open to safety leaders (non-software providers) from organisations with 100+ employees. 

    Safety Kiosk software access is FREE forever (limited to 10 users).

    In recent years we’ve become increasingly aware that we’re 32 times as likely to attend the funeral of a colleague who has taken their own life as we are the funeral of a colleague killed in a work accident. It’s a situation that, post covid, is getting worse and hardly any governments have both the money and inclination to address this. It’s something industry will need to address itself. Why it’s so important, human cost aside, is that on a day to day basis people who are struggling tend to be more fatalistic and more distracted. They are also more likely to make poor quality decisions and are less likely to have good quality interactions. These factors of course impact on excellence and sustainability generally. It’s a genuine win: win situation and one that we have long known how to address.This talk will outline a holistic and practical approach to excellence and introduce Tim’s new book. This a collection of articles published by the British Safety Council – with all proceeds split between Mates in Mind and the Welsh Mental Health charity Brawd.

    The EU is going through a radical change to product safety legislation with new laws like the General Product Safety Regulations driving an increased focus of mental health, online supply and AI. In addition, new Machinery Safety Regulations will create more stringent procedures for manufacturers and suppliers of these goods into the EU and NI. However, if you thought this was only relevant to supply into the EU and NI, all signs are that you may be wrong. The new Product Regulation and Metrology Bill gives the power to change UK law to match their more stringent EU counterparts. Find out what Make UK, the trade body for UK manufacturers, thinks this all means for you.
