About the session
The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) has been accused of being responsible for some bizarre decisions - banning the backstroke in swimming pools, home-made cakes from school fetes and hanging baskets in public areas - none of which are true. The speaker redresses the balance, explaining the HSE's desire for a sensible health and safety system. He discusses the financial and social value of taking such an approach, and looks at how health and safety can be contributor to industry rather than a hinderance.
