STAYING IN BUSINESS BY REDUCING RISK: SAPIRA 2005 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE AND EXHIBITION



Wednesday 11th and Thursday 12th May 2005

at the Kindersley Centre, Sheepdrove Organic Farm, Lambourn, Berkshire RG17 7UU


LAMBOURN, Berkshire, UK, April 1, 2005 -- /WORLD-WIRE/--
A two-day conference and exhibition Staying in Business by Reducing Risk will be held in the tranquil setting of the Kindersley Conference Centre, a beautiful, eco-friendly building surrounded by rolling fields and woodlands.

A full conference programme designed specifically to address the important issues of risk management within the business context – from the impact of current legislation including the onerous personal responsibilities and liabilities of company directors, to the practical requirements and challenges in responding to a major incident. Any professional who has corporate responsibility for, or an interest in, environmental considerations or health and safety issues needs to attend. This conference provides the ideal opportunity to hear specialist speakers and attend practical demonstrations as well as network with your peers in the industry for a generous cross-exchange of information, current thinking and practical experience in risk assessment and management.

Today, more than at any other time, the potential risks affecting our business and personal lives are greater than ever. Not only do we have biological and chemical hazards as well as physical agents such as noise, vibration, microwaves and lasers we are also affected by human behaviour – bullying, stress and accidents. Fire and explosion have always been dangers but today they are compounded by malicious and terrorist influences. Never before have we been under so much threat.

Yet to our credit, environmental issues are high on the agenda of us all – we are more concerned with our planet and the long-term results of the actions that we take than ever before. Research is leading us to develop safer and less harmful ways of operating our businesses and manufacturing plants. While technology has improved our lives in giant leaps we are constantly looking for ways to reduce harmful emissions, reduce pollution during manufacturing processes and seeking environmentally friendly ways of recycling and disposing of equipment at the end of its lifecycle. Accidents happen – it’s in the nature of life, but when they do it’s our responsibility to ensure that their impact is minimised and reduced whether it’s a chemical spillage, explosion and fire or the effects of antisocial behaviour from an individual. These are the real issues facing companies today and we all have legal and moral duties to deal with them in a timely and appropriate manner. Staying in Business by Reducing Risk delivers practical advice from experienced professionals based on real life events.

Many companies pay lip service to risk reduction and management – often through ignorance or lack of up to date knowledge. Staying in Business by Reducing Risk addresses the key issues facing companies today – how to identify risk through understanding the factors that influence risk, how to accurately assess real risk and most importantly how to manage risk within your business. Risk management programmes can help companies better understand operational risks, identify and reduce risks not recognised before, have a traceable and defensible base for making informed decisions, improve safety and make operations more cost effective.

Through sessions led by industry practitioners and researchers, Staying in Business by Reducing Risk will deliver an educational forum of keynote speakers, seminars, workshops and toolbox talks together with a supporting exhibition demonstrating the latest technology and services available for risk identification, reduction and management.

Launching at the conference will be the internet-based risk management and reduction system – the Dynamic Aspect Register from Sapira International. Throughout the conference there will be demonstrations as well as live hands-on opportunities to assess a risk management system.
