SAFETY AND HEALTH EXPO: LEADING THE WAY IN HEALTH AND SAFETY INNOVATION AND INFORMATION
W
ith the remit of the facilities management professional being so diverse, health and safety management is often a
key element of the job role. As companies work towards more effective health and safety systems and processes, it is often the responsibility of the FM manager to oversee this and ensure that health and safety management is effectively achieved.
Health and safety law and practice in the workplace has developed considerably over the years with the introduction of workplace health and safety legislations such as the Health and Safety at Work Act and more recently, the Corporate Manslaughter Act. A significant landmark in law, organisations can now be found guilty of corporate manslaughter as a result of ‘serious management failure resulting in a gross breach of care’. As a result it has become
fundamentally important that effective and efficient health and safety management within an organisation is in full force. Facilities management professionals wanting to remain up to speed on operational health and safety best practice and innovative industry products and developments will have the chance to do just this at this year’s Safety and Health Expo. Professionals from organisations across the globe will converge on Safety and Health Expo 2011, Europe’s leading annual event for the health and safety industry, as more than 300 exhibitors deliver a show that is proven to offer attendees the latest and most relevant industry advice. As well as providing visitors the opportunity to share ideas, opinions and best practice, the 2011 expo will also help to guide practitioners through the maze of legislation and industry updates with regards to the latest health and safety regulations
