Most organisations treat safety as a compliance problem - the best ones treat it as a culture problem, and in this session Bruce Daisley shows exactly why that distinction matters, drawing on case studies from Alcoa, Network Rail and beyond to reveal how the right behaviours, rituals and habits build safety cultures that actually stick.
You'll leave with a practical framework for diagnosing where your culture is failing, four compelling case studies to take back to your organisation, and five concrete takeaways for OSH professionals navigating everything from small SMEs to large corporations - including what hybrid working means for the future of human connection at work.

Keynote Theatre30 minsGen Z is now firmly embedded in the workforce, yet many health and safety frameworks were designed for a very different generation of worker. Drawing on insights from the Youth Voice Census, this session explores how young people experience work, supervision, risk, wellbeing, and psychological safety - and what this means for occupational safety and health professionals.
From communication styles and confidence levels to mental health vulnerability and early exposure to insecure work, Gen Z brings new strengths and new risk considerations. The session will examine where traditional safety approaches may be misaligned, and how organisations can adapt supervision, training, and risk education to better protect and empower young workers.
The central message is clear: protecting young workers requires more than compliance - it requires understanding how they experience work.Chairperson

Keynote Theatre30 minsHuman factors focus on understanding how people interact with systems, environments, and processes in the workplace. By considering human capabilities, limitations, behaviours, and decision-making, organisations can design safer procedures, equipment, and work environments. Integrating human factors into safety management helps reduce human error, improve communication and teamwork, and strengthen situational awareness. Ultimately, applying human factors principles leads to more reliable operations, fewer incidents, and a stronger safety culture across the organisation.Chairperson
