Can premiums be safely lowered?
'Yes' is the insurers answer if the country's health and safety experts have their way.
This year's conference, 'Health and safety: the changing world of work', will focus on the issues thrown up by new working practices, social trends and emerging hazards and how the health and safety profession can best respond to them.
In addition to key note speaker Rt.
Hon John Hutton MP, there will be plenary addresses from Geoffrey Podger, chief executive of the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), Professor Dame Carol Black, national director for Health and Work, Department for Work and Pensions and Dr Janet Asherson, head of health and safety, CBI and member of the European Commission Advisory Committee on Safety, Hygiene and Health Protection at Work.
The conference will examine how organisations can achieve tangible benefits in terms of fewer accidents, less sickness absence, smaller insurance premiums, improved employee relations and a safer, healthier workforce.
There will be nine plenary sessions, six conference tracks and over 40 presentations to choose from, including a wealth of case studies from leading organisations including the Olympic Delivery Authority and British Nuclear Group.
