Overall Assessment of Conference

Delegates’ Comments

This was very helpful and the half day very useful (long enough). Informative + enjoyable. I picked up a few helpful nuggets of info during the day. Thanks

for organising. More regular H&S conferences like this. Ensure proper use of microphones by all! (Not all speakers have

voices that carry).

Topics

It would be interesting to hear about trends in accidents / near misses that are reported to CMG.

A smaller forum of more specific area – e.g. Biological lab safety. H&S reporting and recording to remain compliant with UoE and

statutory regulations. Discussion groups on H&S topics to share good practice. Stress risk assessment. Disabled access (PEEP) Chemicals, COSHH and risk assessments AON audits

Comments

I think Lesley Yellowlees (Academics) should be involved in PI training.

Too laboratory / chemical specific. A smaller forum of more specific area – e.g. Biological lab safety. Enjoyed Joe Brannigan’s (Estates & Buildings) talk and safety

advisors – low risk elements. Enjoyed hearing from other H&S people and how it is managed in

other areas of the University. Speakers not at all engaging.
