High level panel discussion
''Serioulsy high level panel discussion @ EHS Congress 2018 in Berlin. This is #ErikHollnagel #JohnGreen #RhonaFlin & #AlistairGibb discussing “new thinking vs traditional safety methods. “ What an excellent panel. You can almost become smarter just by being in the vicinity.''
Inspiring
''I got touched by Martin Coyd during the presentation “No cows on the ice”. During his keynote, it became shockingly clear that there are more committed suicides than real accidents. His call for attention on mental health/first aid seems logic, but there’s still less presence for it in the field... an inspiring day full of interesting conversations, instructive keynotes and connections!''
Food for Thought
''#ESHC. Just attended the EHS Congress in Berlin. I had 2 great days to mingle and network with more than 250 Safety professionals. Thanks to the organizers for 2 days packed of great speakers and discussions and quiet some food for thought for the coming weeks.''
#EHSC18
‘’Had an excellent first day at the 2018 EHS Congress in Berlin, really enjoyed my session as a panelist tackling the thorny issue of Zero Harm and whether it's possible. Those who know me may have been surprised by my views! Bring on tomorrow.’’
LEADERSHIP AND AUTHENTICITY!
‘’LEADERSHIP AND AUTHENTICITY! I so enjoyed soaking up learnings at the EHS Berlin conference, great to be part of the H&S international Community. I promise us speakers didn’t consult each other, but it’s telling that these were the two themes that ran throughout our sessions.’’
#EHSC
‘’It has been a blast to take part in the EHS Congress in Berlin. Great news that the top of the industry is recognising that it is time to become strong supportive allies with leadership to push for step changes on improving our performance together. #ehsc’’

Professor Sidney Dekker – Workshop
‘Safety differently’ is about relying on people’s expertise, insights and the dignity of work as actually done to improve safety and efficiency. It is about halting or pushing back on the ever-expanding bureaucratization and compliance of work. The cost of compliance and bureaucracy can be mind-boggling—up to 10% of GDP, with every person working some 8 weeks per year just to cover the cost of compliance, paperwork and bureaucratic accountability demands. This is non-productive time. It has also stopped progressing safety. Over the last two decades, safety improvements have flatlined (as measured in fatalities and serious injury rates, for instance) despite a vast expansion of compliance and bureaucracy.

250 delegates gathered in Berlin to hear what 40+ inspirational speakers had to share.
Over the two days of the congress we came to realise that the world of work has changed, and so too our approach as practitioners must change. EHS is so much more than the acronym suggests, and our program included topics as diverse as Operational Excellence, Mental Health, Wellbeing, Leadership, and Culture.
