The youth of today
The seminar topics have been specifically chosen by BSC to provide

'Helping Young People Manage the Risks That They Will Face in the
workplace' presented by Neil Stone from the BSC which is particularly
pertinent to the cleaning industry.According to BSC, young people
entering the world of work are twice as likely to have an accident at
work as their adult counterparts.This seminar will survey the
measures put in place by BSC, and
others, to raise young peoples'
awareness of the risk of injury
and ill-health.
Also on the BSC's
seminar programme is a
presentation from Nigel
Bryson of Bryson
Consulting entitled
'People Support What
They Help Create'.
Bryson's presentation will
identify the business
benefits that effective
workforce
involvement
brings to health
and safety issues,
such as, reductions
in accidents and illhealth,
and increases in productivity or service performance. Based
on case studies, the presentation will identify how effective workforce
involvement can help drive continuous improvement of health and
safety performance in organisations.
