Following last year’s excellent discussion of ‘behavioural safety’, we tackle another current hot topic, with speakers drawn from three perspectives: Government, Regulator and Employer.
The speakers focus on whether investment in Occupational Health brings win-win all round – for the individual, business, and the taxpayer.
Areas covered include:
■ Does occupational health make sites safer, reducing the propensity for accidents?
■ Does it improve performance?
■ Does it enhance general wellbeing?
■ Should business be involved in an individual’s health, and invade the GP’s historic territory – or is this ‘personal space’?
■ Is it just philanthropy, or is there a business case for further investment?
