Product Standards may change with little or no support for the product users to understand what has changed.

In this session, we challenge the traditional, reactive, approach to health and safety and set out a more progressive model built on engagement, information, and action. Too often, safety data drives compliance reporting rather than delivering insight. This sees organisations responding to incidents and focussed on lagging indicators, once harm has already been done.

As organisations become increasingly data‑rich, many are also becoming insight‑poor, mistaking volume of information for genuine cultural assurance. Low accident rates, positive survey results and reassuring dashboards can all suggest that culture is “in a good place”. Yet these same indicators can mask deeper issues creating a false sense of confidence and, ultimately, increasing organisational risk.

- People don’t want to work from home or the office, they want to feel alive, trusted and connected.

In our efforts to comply with regulations, are we missing the essential reason for assessing risk? And is there a better way to ensure our risk assessments are ‘suitable and sufficient’ beyond just reviewing them periodically? Drawing on previous research and his work in a variety of industries, David England will examine the relationship between assessing risk and managing risk. He will also demonstrate how the control measures we develop can be made more resilient to real world pressures via a simple process of examination.Speakers
