Event organized very well (great chairman!) and many of the speakers were great. All topics were interesting...

For me it was one of the most relevant and best conferences in the EHS area I have participated.
Many thanks for indeed amazing organization of the congress. Would love to go again definitely.
Inspiring, dynamic, energizing! Certainly the dose of passion and content will keep me moving forward!

Opening Remarks by the Chair

John Green
HS Director- Battersea Power Station Development Company
Keynote: Safety Differently 2.0
The traditional safety paradigm has focused on behaviours of individuals and the use of bureaucratic accountability and constraints to prevent negative outcomes. But despite unprecedented investments in safety, organisations still experience significant incident levels. Furthermore, while this approach has led to significant improvements it has also produced several problematic side effects: disengagement and disempowerment of people, increasing bureaucracy, loss of innovation and productivity.
8:40AM- 9:10AMSAPHIR 1 & 2
Alistair Gibb
Professor of Construction Engineering Management at Loughborough University
Zero harm: target or reality? A construction perspective
Zero Harm is a mantra that has pervaded many industry sectors, including construction for many years – as a target it is laudable, but, as a performance indicator it is questionable. This presentation will explore this phenomena and the context of improving health and safety performance from a construction perspective, although, many of the key points will be applicable to other sectors.
9:10AM - 10:10AMSAPHIR 1 & 2
Panel Discussion – New thinking vs traditional safety methods
Challenging new thinkers’ concepts on safety will be those who hold a more conservative approach on the subject.
- Do we need 180 degree turn immediately to how we do safety?
- Which industries would benefit from switching or even considering?
- If a decision is made, how to implement step-by-step?
