Branch seminar: Don't undermine health and safety

11 August 2010

On 24 June 2010, the IOSH Yorkshire Branch held their annual branch seminar entitled ‘Don’t undermine health and safety’ at the National Coal Mining Museum in Wakefield.

The event was very well attended by 136 delegates.

The event featured presentations from West Yorkshire Fire Service, EEF Ltd, Caritas Ltd and the National Nuclear Laboratory.

The event consisted of presentations, a demonstration, exhibitions and also allowed delegates the opportunity to have CPD mentoring sessions.

Delegates were also given the opportunity to take part in an underground tour of the mine.

Exhibitors at the event included PROHMS, Peritus Health Management, EEF Ltd and CSS Worksafe.

Positive feedback was received from the delegates, including;

‘The Presentations were well thought out and given in an excellent manor’

‘Very good idea to include practical demos with fire service - good session length’

 ‘A well organised and run event with a good variety of topics covered. The venue was a well chosen one’

‘A good value for money event - thanks to all presenters’

‘A Thoroughly enjoyable event, gaining much personally and professionally - thank you’

The event sessions were filmed, and the Podcasts will be available to IOSH members on the IOSH Yorkshire Branch Website in the near future.
