Conference details
11 August 2016
The British Safety Council has unveiled the programme of its Annual Conference ‘Health and work in a changing world’ to be held on Wednesday, 5 October 2016, at The King's Fund, London
The conference speakers will address the controversial issue of responsibility for health in the workplace: what should employers be doing and how can they encourage staff to manage and improve their health? How can this responsibility be best shared?
The event will feature a number of case studies of companies that are leading the industry with their record of managing health in the workplace and their commitment to facilitating the return to work of employees with health conditions.
The conference will be chaired by Steve Hails, Director of Health, Safety & Wellbeing at Thames Tideway Tunnel. He is also the former Health & Safety Director of Crossrail. The keynote speaker at the event will be Professor Dame Carol Black DBE, FRCP, a senior policy adviser on work and health to the government and a passionate campaigner for enabling people with health conditions to return to work.
