Forum in London – 4th December 2008 Cardinus, (a THB Group plc member company) -
providers of online injury reduction solutions and risk management within the
safety, fleet, Insurance and property sectors, sponsored and organised the 2008
European Environment, Health & Safety Forum on 4th December at 107 Leadenhall
Street, London in conjunction with the National Safety Council of the USA.
Cardinus and THB Group had a fantastic turn out of some of their most valued
clients, plus NSC (National Safety Council) members and clients flew from
worldwide destinations including Saudi Arabia and Germany.
The Forum consisted of a morning of speakers, including a representative of the
EU Occupational Safety & Health Agency, on topics such as ‘Economic Incentives
to Improve Occupational health’, and ‘The Role of Environment Health & Safety in
Corporate Social Responsibility.’ The morning was led by Barry Holt – National
Safety Council, Regional Director, Europe, whose presentation focused on
‘Integrating EHS Management in to business planning.’
The second half of the one day event gave attendees the chance to breakout into
workshop style sessions, where they debated and contributed towards topics such
as ‘Building Employee Involvement.’
Jon Abbott, Managing Director, Cardinus said: “We are delighted to be involved
with what we hope will become a regular forum. The day was a complete success
and feedback from all of the delegates is worthy of a mention with the majority
asking when the next forum would be.”
He went on to say, “Together with the NSC, we have clearly identified a real
need for industry professionals to get together and share their viewpoints and
expertise around these types of EHS issues. We were extremely encouraged with
the high level of attendance, especially from places as far away as Saudi
Arabia.”
All presentations are available on request.
Barry Holt commented: “It is always good to see a high turn out for events such
as these, but it is even more important to witness educated and relevant debates
taking place, bringing together a wealth of knowledge and opinion around
integrating EHS into business planning and other strategic issues.”
Cardinus are currently working with the NSC to arrange their 2009 Forum
Calendar. For further information please contact Cardinus.
