The educational partner of Health & Safety North 2016, The British Safety Council, has prepared a comprehensive seminar programme for the Health & Safety North 2016 event on October 12 – 13 2016, in Bolton.

The event will return to Bolton Arena and this year will include two interactive workshops which will give participants ‘hands on involvement’ in the sessions.

Health and Safety North 2016 is a two day event centred on an exhibition that includes a free to attend seminar programme curated by the British Safety Council.

It is a chance for leading trade bodies, distributors, manufacturers, training providers and consultants in the health and safety sector to showcase their services and expertise.

The British Safety Council’s seminar programme will provide a platform for local business managers and owners in the North West to hear from and engage with leading experts in health and safety and network with a series of business managers and practitioners.

The highlight of this year’s programme will be two interactive workshops that will give the delegates experience of managing a stressful situation in ‘real-life’ scenarios where positive health and safety behaviour is required.

On October 12, Shaun Curry and Harry Gallagher, from training providers Macnaughton Mcgregor, will host a scenario based session during which participants will be told of a serious incident which has taken place and presented with an ‘active’ scenario that they can take part in.

The audience will then be given the chance to question both individuals, influence their behaviour and ultimately change the potential outcome of the situation.

In the second interactive workshop, held on the 13th October, Mark Davies, managing director at consultancy 7Futures, will draw on his experience of working with elite performers, sports personalities and the military, by demonstrating how to manage stressful situations without compromising people’s health and wellbeing.
