Annual Occupational Health & Safety Conference 2010. WHERE TO FROM HERE? (Beyond The Systems)

Annual Occupational Health & Safety Conference 2010
 

WHERE TO FROM HERE?
(Beyond The Systems)

 So you have spent up large on safety, got all the guards in place, supplied all the staff with PPE, checked the fire extinguishers, you even have a flash safety manual and policy in place, now you are wondering if I could just get them to act safely.

Our key speakers will present topics to help you become the most successful you can be by explaining the difference between leaders and followers, understanding behaviours, knowing how to manage behaviour on a practical level and then looking at the organisational change. Plus there will be real case studies from successful safety managers and event investigators.

You will also get the chance to ask the movers and shakers of our legislation that very same question “where to from here?”
