Dr Julie Riggs confronts an uncomfortable truth: while we rigorously control visible safety risks, we have learned to tolerate health risks that would be unthinkable if they were sudden or dramatic. The result is a slow-burn crisis hiding in plain sight, costing the UK economy around £150 billion a year and steadily eroding workforce capacity and resilience. Blending population health data, behavioural science and safety thinking, this talk reframes health not as wellbeing or healthcare, but as risk, a risk we have normalised and pushed downstream. It is a wake-up call for leaders and safety professionals who believe prevention must move upstream, before harm becomes inevitable.Speakers

What makes some safety leaders more effective at engaging their teams and sustaining safer behaviours? In this 30‑minute discussion, we’ll explore that question by reviewing a detailed leadership assessment with a senior safety professional. The tool provides a nuanced view of leadership behaviours and decision-making styles—highlighting how these patterns shape safety culture from the top down.
Drawing parallels to tools like the Saville Wave but tailored specifically to health and safety competencies, the discussion will reveal how this kind of analysis can help leaders understand not only their own style and motivators, but how their approach influences team cohesion, communication, and performance. Participants will gain insight into how leadership assessments can be used both for personal growth and for strategically shaping high-performing safety teams—identifying development needs, improving collaboration, and informing future recruitment and talent planning. Expect a practical, reflective conversation that invites you to consider what your own leadership profile might reveal about the culture you create.

Why do well-intentioned safety initiatives sometimes fail to take root, or see early compliance quietly fade? This session introduces Self-Determination Theory as a practical framework for understanding safety motivation in the real world. Rather than focusing on attitudes or enforcement, it explores how meeting core human needs helps shape everyday safety behaviour. Participants will leave with realistic, actionable ways to design and implement safety initiatives that people are more likely to sustain - even under pressure and when no one is watching.Speakers

In our efforts to comply with regulations, are we missing the essential reason for assessing risk? And is there a better way to ensure our risk assessments are ‘suitable and sufficient’ beyond just reviewing them periodically? Drawing on previous research and his work in a variety of industries, David England will examine the relationship between assessing risk and managing risk. He will also demonstrate how the control measures we develop can be made more resilient to real world pressures via a simple process of examination.Speakers
