How Improving EHS & ESG Performance Can Drive Competitive Advantage: a discussion with Intelex22nd March 2023 at 10:30 |
|
|
The one constant in EHS and ESG is change. Recent years have seen the world of EHS and ESG evolving rapidly and the time health and safety or environmental and sustainability was simply about meeting compliance requirements is long past. In 2023, the picture is both more complex and more interesting. Today’s forward-thinking organisations are exploring how EHS and ESG can help drive wider business results – results as varied as improving hiring and retention through to setting their brands apart in the eyes of customers; results that have a straight-line impact on market success. In this webinar, join Louise Ward, Safety and Sustainability Director from G&W UK and Europe, and Intelex’s Ben Henderson, lead product solutions consultant for EMEA, to learn more about:

Why should you choose communication solutions?12th April 2023 at 10:30 |
|
|
Noise hazards are common to several industries: construction, heavy manufacturing and transportation, packaging industries, food & beverage and several more. While workers must be protected from harmful noises that can endanger their hearing, the selected hearing solution shouldn’t isolate workers from warning signals nor hinder their ability to communicate at a distance safely. When carefully chosen, hearing protection may not only decrease the risk of hearing loss and critical production downtime but also increase workplace safety and workers’ satisfaction. This webinar will cover how the use of hearing protection can allow safe communication and support situational awareness that may lead to various benefits such as productivity gains. |

ESG and Sustainability: The role of the EHS leader23rd May 2023 at 10:30 |
|
|
As the concept of ESG has matured, the relative focus between the three elements (Environmental, Social and Governance) has shifted, with environmental impacts and measures coming to the fore. There is now a push for more priority to be given to the social aspects, such as people and their health, safety, and wellbeing. When you consider that the ILO* estimates that 2.3 million people succumb to work related accidents or diseases every year, you can understand why. Many companies’ global ESG priorities have evolved and now include social justice and the future of work alongside zero carbon commitments. This shift, combined with the recent ILO declaration that a safe and healthy work environment is a fundamental human right, has meant we have started to see the balance being redressed. These developments create more opportunities for EHS leaders to demonstrate the contributions our profession can make to ESG. This webinar will explore the links between ESG, Sustainability, People and their health, safety, and well-being, and will highlight how you can influence the future in your business through People Sustainability within the larger Sustainability and ESG agendas.’ |

A Resilient Supply Chain starts with Managing Contractor Risk |
|
|
According to a recent survey by BDO, 84% of enterprise-level CFOs named supply chain disruption as their biggest business risk, with talent shortage as the second (79%). EHS leaders play an increasingly larger role in addressing risks for 3rd party companies and addressing resilience of the supply chain. In fact, 95% of EHS leaders have full ownership or some decision-making authority for defining supply chain and contractor management strategies across the organisation. * Doing the right thing is just good business. To protect people, business and brand effectively, EHS leaders will need to partner closer with other parts of the business and account for an influx of contractor risk in their operations. At the same time, EHS leaders must address a broader spectrum of risks and contend with more complex legislation that extends well beyond traditional safety practices. |

The aftermath of an accident; legal lessons learned |
|
|
This two-hour webinar will be delivered by leading health and safety law firm DAC Beachcroft and will focus on the legal lessons you need to learn in the aftermath of an accident in the workplace. After an accident there is a tendency to get caught up in internal investigations and responding to regulators, however, it is the response to the incident that is often picked apart at a later stage, and often in Court. We explore the importance of getting the response to an accident right, when to consider an accident investigation, and how the response and documents created in the immediate aftermath of an incident are frequently used against organisations in a prosecution. |

New Connectivity Technologies Solving Gas Detection Challenges |
|
|
We live in a connected world. Connectivity creates smarter people, smarter homes, and smarter workflows. But this connectivity does not exist as much in the workplace, where safety should be a priority. A high number of workplace injuries and related costs remain virtually unchanged, year over year. With the millions of workplace injuries each year and countless lost hours of productivity, safety teams need advanced technology tools that can help address their safety challenges and move towards safer worker environments and behaviors. But PPE hasn’t traditionally incorporated a technology component in a way that helps to solve many of these problems, this includes gas detectors. While gas detection is an important part of any safety program playing a fundamental role in helping to keep workers and worksites safe, managing a gas detection program presents many challenges. The good news is that new technologies in gas detection helps to build connections between WORKERS, WORKSITES and WORKFLOWS – to create an adaptive safety program now and into the future.

Protecting High-rise residential buildings from fire |
|
|
For buildings with flammable cladding, the NFCC (National Fire Chiefs Council) recommends a change in evacuation strategy, supported by the introduction of temporary protection measures, such as ‘Waking Watch’ or a fire detection system, until the cladding is removed. If the remedial works are expected to take longer than 12 months, the NFCC strongly recommends the installation of fire alarm system as a more reliable, safe and cost effective solution to a Waking Watch. In this webinar, we will be exploring the Apollo & Advanced solution which provides superior protection for residents, is fully compliant with NFCC guidance and offers fast installation with minimal disruption for occupants. We will also discuss how this system can be later adapted to convert to the Evacuation and Alert system in line with BS8629 code of practice. Tall buildings expert Russ Timpson will also discuss what information you should provide to firefighters when they are responding to a fire in a high risk residential building (HRRB), and the fire growth and smoke movement requires a change of the existing/established evacuation strategy, i.e. stay put to simultaneous All attendees will receive CPD points from The Insitute of Fire Safety Managers (IFSM) for attending. |
