THE SAFEST FORM OF TRANSPORTATION
IN THE WORLD
(The history of the lift & lift safety)
Many people harbour fears about travelling in lifts. What
if they fall from the top to the bottom of the lift shaft?
What if they become trapped in a lift and can never be released?
This presentation is designed to dispel those fears by explaining
the workings of vertical transportation from the invention
of the first safety device in 1853 through to the innovations
of the present time.

ASBESTOS ARE YOU MANAGING?
Asbestos is the greatest single cause of work related deaths
in the UK. Past exposure is now responsible for about 4000
people dying from asbestos-related cancers every year and
this figure is expected to rise over the next ten years. The
continuing exposures and ill health caused can and must be
prevented. This presentation will give an insight into types
of asbestos, its uses, where it may be found and how to develop
an effective asbestos management plan.

are taken into account when sentencing. Oscar-nomination-worthy

REPUTATIONAL RISK
Often the most damaging aspect of an industrial accident,
injury or environmental incident is the media fall-out. Remember
Windscale? Buncefield? The numerous rail crashes? Such negative
exposure can often be the factor that drives a company down
with a complete
destruction of client/customer confidence and total loss of
goodwill. The speaker will provide a thought provoking insight
into the public relations’ issues involved in dealing
with a media backlash following a major incident. How practically
to prepare for such an event, how to deal with it if it occurs
and how to minimise the long-term effects on your business.
Speaker: Richard Voke, Lyons Davidson Solicitors
