What's in it for me
The session will explore tools and potential
solutions to a poor health and safety culture, rather than focusing
on the negative impacts which arise from a poor health and safety
culture.
This workshop style event will encourage
suggestions, ideas and feedback from the audience, with the aim of
sharing positive ideas and successful experiences.
Who should attend?
This event is aimed at business managers and safety
professionals.
