Manchester Metropolitan University

13th - 14th April 2010

Keynote Speakers:

• Judith E Hackitt CBE, Chair of Health and Safety Executive
• Maureen Kotlas, Environmental Health and Safety Director, Harvard University
• Keith Scott, Chair of IIRSM
• Hazel Harvey, Professional Affairs Director, IOSH
• Paul Verrico, Solicitor-Advocate, Eversheds

Training, learning and competence is a core theme which affects both ourselves as professional safety advisors as well as all university employees through the courses we facilitate or secure externally. Ultimately the knowledge and transitional skills that our undergraduates experience throughout their degree course is reflected in the managers of tomorrow.
The conference draws upon the three overlapping streams of the continuing professional development of safety practitioners, developing and delivering affective health and safety training courses and the influences that we bring in relation to curriculum development. The conference is open to both USHA members and non-members. The conference would also appeal to Further Education Colleges, Trade Union Safety Representatives, Academic staff working in related fields and health and safety training providers and professionals.
