Enhancing health and safety governance: An interactive workshop

Overview

This interactive two-hour workshop, facilitated by Francois Barton of the Business Leaders’ Health and Safety Forum, offers a unique opportunity to delve into health and safety governance. Using insights from the Institute of Directors Health and Safety Governance: A good practice guide, the session includes practical scenarios presented by three local business leaders. Each scenario focuses on a specific health and safety theme, explored in small group discussions led by the presenters and their health and safety leads.

Attendees will rotate between tables for deep dives into these topics, ensuring varied perspectives and actionable insights. Francois will conclude the session with key takeaways to strengthen governance practices.

This workshop is suitable for directors seeking to enhance their health and safety oversight. Spaces are limited for interactive engagement.
