Safe but not well: Confronting health and safety's biggest taboo
We talk a lot about keeping people safe — but how often do we ask if they’re well? Even in organisations with strong safety records, people are burning out, disengaging, or just “having a bad day.” The uncomfortable truth is that wellbeing and safety are inseparable — and ignoring that link can have serious consequences. In this candid fireside chat, Jason Anker MBE, a powerful advocate for behavioural safety and lived experience of workplace injury, joins Laura Thomas, a senior safety leader and culture specialist, to tackle one of the profession’s final taboos. Together they’ll explore: Why wellbeing is part of the legal duty of care — not an optional extra; How poor mental health and emotional strain can directly lead to incidents; The role of honest investigation; Why culture, not checklists, ultimately defines whether people are safe and well. Expect an open, thought-provoking conversation that blends personal story, professional insight, and practical challenge — inviting the audience to rethink what “safe” really means in today’s workplaces.
