Sarah Brown will deliver a seminar on day two about the perennial issue of asbestos management.
Further details of the free seminar series accompanying the Health and Safety 08 - North event at The Reebok Stadium, Bolton, on the 8th and 9th October, 2008 have been released.
The seminar programme at the Northern stretch of this regional series of events will cover issues ranging from accident and incident management to hearing protection.
A full programme of seminars can be found on the Health and Safety 08 website.
Sarah Brown will deliver a seminar on day two about the perennial issue of asbestos management.
The presentation will feature an update on current asbestos issues and recent initiatives, including a summary of the HSE's asbestos campaign, which will launch with national media coverage on the 13th October, 2008 based on the success of the pilot media campaign run in North West England.
The HSE's campaign is designed to raise awareness of the risk of exposure to the substantial amounts of asbestos still contained in many buildings.
Brown's presentation will also focus on the work that the HSE has done nationally, with key stakeholders to promote the campaign and its messages and to distribute campaign materials.
The IOSH seminars on 8th October are titled "Ergonomics = Human Factors - a World Beyond Manual Handling".
According to recent statistics published by the HSE, up to 80% of accidents in the workplace can be attributed to human error.
Causes can include such issues as poor design, poor maintenance, attitude to health and safety in the workplace, inadequate training or supervision, poor work planning and organisation.
Delivered by Jon Anslow, the presentation will provide an overview of human factors in health and safety at work today, look at the HSE's approach and also provide an introduction to the "Inspector's human factors tool kit".
Health and Safety 08 - North also provides visitors with an opportunity to talk to key industry bodies, professional and trade associations such as IOSH, the Health and Safety Executive, the Asbestos Control and Abatement Division (ACAD) and the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH), all of whom are exhibiting at the Reebok stadium in October.
Principal People's fire training consultants will be demonstrating the use of extinguishers and inviting visitors to bring a blaze under control with hand held extinguishers.
Principal People will be promoting the range of fire training services that it offers, from fire marshal training and evacuations to risk assessment and general consultancy.
Registering for the events or seminars is free.
