SHOW PREVIEW
be missed as the conference hall is transformed into a court room with an interactive session from Pinsent Masons LLP who will be conducting a mock trial entitled: ‘A construction industry accident – whose fault? You decide’.
“THE MOCK TRIAL WILL DEMONSTRATE THE STAGES OF A HEALTH AND SAFETY PROSECUTION FOLLOWING A SERIOUS INCIDENT WITHIN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY.”
Split into two one-hour sessions, the evidence at 11:15 followed by the verdict at 13:15, the mock trial will demonstrate the stages of a health and safety prosecution following a serious incident within the construction industry. The mock trial will highlight health and safety implications from the injured party’s perspective as well as the managing director of the company being questioned. Perhaps the most interesting part is that the trial’s outcome will be decided by Health and Safety North’s attendees.
Katherine Brydon of Pinsent Masons LLP, the international law firm hosting the trial, said: “The sessions will be good fun for everyone involved but will also contain a strong message. We hope people will be engaged and that what they will learn will be of use to them in their professional lives.
“Fortunately, the vast majority of people attending the event will never be involved in a health and safety prosecution, but the mock trial will be a real eye opener and give the individuals attending an insight into how it unfolds, what a trial looks like and the consequences they could face if they don’t abide by the law.”
PRACTICAL SEMINARS Visitors to Health and Safety North will also benefit from practical seminars hosted by event partners such as 3M, Arco and Dupont Personal Protection.
Kicking off this programme on day one is Nikki Samme, marketing and portfolio
28
development director from Alcumus. Her presentation entitled ‘A guide to business continuity planning using the ISO 22301 framework’ goes ahead at 9:10 on 7th October. Nikki will bring to light some worrying statistics: 1 in 5 businesses suffer a major disruption of service every year and 1 in 10 of these businesses will cease trading as a direct result of this. With her presentation, Nikki looks to cover the growing demand for the international business continuity standard ISO22301 and how this can be embedded into an organisation’s culture.
In the afternoon, those concerned with the new arc flash standards IEC 61482-2, EN 61482-1-1 and EN 61482-1-2 will want to attend the UK’s thermal specialist for Nomex and Western Europe electric arc end user specialist for DuPont Personal Protection, Elaina Harvey’s talk on ‘How to assess electric arc standards and protect workers’. As well as highlighting the new standards, Elaina will summarise the “4 P” approach to understanding and managing electrical arc hazards – Predict, Prevent, Protect and Publish.
JOIN THE DEBATE The event will also benefit from a Safety Dialogue Theatre: a roundtable discussion involving a live panel during which experts discuss the latest issues and open up the floor to questions from the audience. Topics for discussion will be: managing respiratory hazards – with a focus on construction dusts and asbestos, this session includes information and a discussion on the Breathe Freely campaign recently launched by British Occupational Hygiene Society (BOHS) – and managing noise hazards.
Health & Safety North is centred on an exhibition that includes the most well recognised trade bodies, manufacturers and distributors, training providers and consultants in the health and safety sector, giving visitors access to new information and experts.
