INTRODUCTION Welcome to the 2022 Health and Safety Conference We are delighted to welcome you to our first face to face Health & Safety conference since 2019. At this conference we tackle the topics of workplace transport, mental health, road risk, resilience and determination. We have put together another strong programme of thought provoking speakers. The pandemic has caused extended hours for drivers and operators, workplace transport is still the second cause of fatal injuries at work in GB. Our inspirational speakers Lisa Ramos and David Garton start the day by outlining their journey. In 2006, Lisa was hit by a forklift truck, not only did this change Lisa’s life, but it changed that of her husband Dave and son Kieran. We then continue with the theme of forklift safety with Stuart Taylor from Mentor Training visiting the 7 deadly sins of fork-lift trucks. To conclude the first session, we are joined by Nina Day, a policy advisor for the HSE and specialist in workplace transport and road risk.

Head of Health & Safety BFFF
D.tec will start the next session with a discussion on the management of drugs and alcohol in the workplace, for operators and drivers. Following this Vue will bring us up to speed with the latest on vehicle and forklift safety innovation in managing workplace transport. We then explore the topic of Mental Health & Wellbeing with Alexis Powell-Howard, the director of Fortis, explaining practical ways for employers to manage mental health within the workplace. Neil Catton, an IOSH presidential team member and director of Sterling Risk Services will share a personal story around mental health. Paul Duncalf, Director of Safety, Training & Fleet Compliance for Sysco, takes us up to lunch with an initiative Brakes have implemented, designed to open up discussion about mental health between colleagues at work. Conversation starter cards will be placed on tables during lunch. After lunch we look at loading dock safety, and are joined by Rite Hite who will introduce their safety technology, and Sue Rowland from Sysco will explain the practical solution Brakes have developed in loading dock safety and key control. In terms of work-related road risk, the industry is still experiencing a driver shortage, and incidents reported in 2019 showed 66 goods vehicle fatalities (including heavy and light goods vehicles), however, this does not include drivers of company cars. Cristina Tanner from the road risk charity Brake UK will tell us more about the work they are doing to support the families of victims of road traffic accidents, she will be joined by Paul Sellers who will share his personal story. Finally, we are joined by our motivational speaker Chris Moon, who has got to be one of the most fortunate people to be alive after being captured by the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia and negotiating his release and that of his colleagues. In 1995 he suffered life changing injuries in Mozambique and his unique experiences now help people do what they do better. Thank you for supporting our conference.

MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER
As a professional Chris Moon exists to help people do what they do better. He draws on his unique experiences to illustrate principles people can use in their daily lives. A unique perspective As well as a practical understanding of human performance in the most extreme situations and overcoming adversity his Masters Degree in Security Management covered human behaviour and management theory. He’s read several hundred books on achievement giving him an intellectual perspective, which he illustrates with his own humorous and uplifting anecdotes. He’s been speaking and delivering workshops obtaining top feedback scores for more than 10 years and adds the shared learning from this. Chris is a former British Army Officer with three years operational experience. His training at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and experiences as an Army officer provided a world-class grounding in leadership, motivation and personal and team development. He left to work for a charity clearing landmines in Asia & Africa. He survived being taken prisoner in Cambodia by the Khmer Rouge (one of the most brutal terror groups in history) and negotiated his release and that of two colleagues from threatened execution. In 1995 he was blown up in a supposedly safe area of a minefield in remote East Africa losing an arm and a leg. He survived initially because he treated himself. About fourteen hours after injury he arrived in South Africa where doctors said they’d never seen anyone live with such a small amount of blood. He recovered three or four times faster than was expected, was out of hospital in less than two months and within a year of leaving hospital ran the London Marathon, raised significant sums to help disabled people in the developing world, worked to ban landmines and successfully completed a full time Masters Degree.

An early leader in loading dock safety, Rite-Hite introduced its groundbreaking DOK-LOK® trailer restraint in 1980.
