The Health & Safety Event Agenda 2025

In recent years we’ve become increasingly aware that we’re 32 times as likely to attend the funeral of a colleague who has taken their own life as we are the funeral of a colleague killed in a work accident. It’s a situation that, post covid, is getting worse and hardly any governments have both the money and inclination to address this. It’s something industry will need to address itself. Why it’s so important, human cost aside, is that on a day to day basis people who are struggling tend to be more fatalistic and more distracted. They are also more likely to make poor quality decisions and are less likely to have good quality interactions. These factors of course impact on excellence and sustainability generally. It’s a genuine win: win situation and one that we have long known how to address.This talk will outline a holistic and practical approach to excellence and introduce Tim’s new book. This a collection of articles published by the British Safety Council – with all proceeds split between Mates in Mind and the Welsh Mental Health charity Brawd.
