Courage and risk – a different perspective

The safety duo will address the topic of courage and risk at this year’s Safety & Health Expo 2019, Wednesday 19th June, ExCeL London UK, Keynote Theatre, 11.30 – 12.30.

The majority of common workplace injuries happen in everyday situations. Health & safety managers will understand that rushing, frustration, fatigue and complacency are normal states you will face in the working day, however, what most do not realise is that this state-to-error risk pattern is responsible for more than 95% of all injuries.

Eddie the Eagle and Larry Wilson will outline how organisations can tackle these common safety pain points, moving beyond compliance and reducing the common causes of workplace injuries.

SafeStart addresses everyday safety issues experienced by managers and the perceived conflict between production and safety. Instead of focusing on the hazard, SafeStart focuses on the individual's state of mind and how this could lead to an incident occurring.

The SafeStart programme has been successfully implemented in 64 countries and 32 languages, across 10,000 worksites, with more than 3 million people trained. Larry Wilson says: “Eddie and I look forward to meeting delegates at Safety & Health Expo this year. We look at safety in a totally new way, and our presentation will demonstrate how to tackle risk head on, giving individuals the solution to improve their safety both at work and home.”

Eddie and Larry will be hosting a meet-and-greet and book signing session on the SafeStart stand after their presentation.  Stand SH2045
