1. Health and Safety Conference 2011 Evaluation Results February 2011

2. Summary of Evaluation Results • 87 attendees (72 delegates,15 Health and Safety Dept) • 49/72 delegates provided post-conference evaluation (68%)

3. 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).

4. Conference Usefulness • Please indicate how useful you found the Conference

5. Future Events • If the event were repeated, for example with a topic based conference, would you be likely to attend?

6. Suggestions for H&S topics for future events

7. 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

8. 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.
