Hempsons and the Health and Safety Executive Joint Seminar

• Wakefield, 16 Sep 2010 9:00am-1:00pm

2010 could be a pivotal year for boards as the demands for statutory health and safety duties for directors grows. There is an increasing risk of an NHS Trust being prosecuted for corporate manslaughter with any fine likely to exceed £100,000.  At the same time, better corporate governance of health and safety can bring wider benefits to your organisation beyond simple compliance with the law.  

Hempsons and the HSE invite you to a half-day seminar on how these changes could affect you. The speakers are:

• Introduction - David Snowball, Regional Director for Yorkshire and the North East, HSE
• Legal Duties to Manage Health & Safety - Dr John Rowe, Principal HM Inspector, HSE
• NHS and Corporate Governance Duties to Manage Health & Safety - David Sinclair, Senior Solicitor and Chartered Health and Safety Practitioner, Hempsons
• Effective Health & Safety Management - Julian Franklin, HM Inspector, HSE
• Benefits of Health and Safety Leadership - Andrew Foster, Chief Executive, Wrightington, Wigan & Leigh NHS Foundation Trust

This seminar will provide you, your fellow Chief Executives and Executive Directors having responsibility for health and safety with the unique opportunity to learn directly from the HSE and Hempsons, a leading healthcare law firm in a joint forum.   

This free seminar is open only to Chief Executives and Executive Directors with board responsibility for health and safety from FTs, NHS Trusts, PCTs, SHAs, private and third sector healthcare providers and so your invitation is not transferrable.
