Dame Carol Black advised the government on the relationship between work and health for ten years. This session draws on her wealth of experience to discuss the importance of health and wellbeing in relation to worker safety on Britain’s railway.

Too often we measure our exposure to harm only after that harm has happened. The RWA Occupational Hygiene Management Group talks about how it’s time for a new, proactive strategy, that helps us to avoid risks, ultimately to improve quality of life for our colleagues.

Hear from rail operators and experts about challenges around occupational health, followed by a lively discussion on what needs to change to unlock occupational health capability and what part you could play in making it happen.

Hear about the effect of railway shift patterns on the human body, and how we’re supporting colleagues to reach a healthier weight. Since the start of our partnership with Slimming World, we’ve lost a combined total of 2,603lbs – that’s equivalent to 378,000 tea bags!

It may be microscopic in size, but dust can pose a big risk to our health. Hear from Steve Perkins, who aims to improve our understanding of how we can control health risks through occupational hygiene – especially the challenge of dust.

The health of colleagues will always be a key priority of the rail industry. This session on occupational hygiene discusses long-term worker health protection and the focus for future projects and initiatives.
