Annual Update
2009/10
This is now the eighteenth consecutive
year that this seminar has been run, its success is clear
in that a large number of delegates regularly re-attend and
many have attended for a number of years.
The range of legislation and related issues
affecting the field of Health & Safety is complex and
ever changing. Within this climate it is essential that all
Health & Safety professionals keep up-to-date with current
changes and future legislative developments affecting the
work environment.
Changes to current legislation, new regulations
and related issues, will undoubtedly have a wide ranging impact
on every organisation.
The day is intended to save health &
safety professionals from trawling through the huge amounts
of reference literature and regulatory information each year,
which needs to be consumed and understood by anyone with safety
responsibilities in the workplace. The seminar provides in
one day all the critical and relevant information necessary
to understand the implications of key changes over the year.
The Programme for the 2009/10 update series is yet to be confirmed, as it is designed to be as up-to-date as possible. The last programme for the 2008/09 series is detailed below in order to provide an indication of the types of subjects covered and the format for the day.
