We’re always looking for ways to keep everyone safe from harm at work. In this session, Claire Forshaw discusses situations where occupational hygiene can be used for rail projects, its benefits, and some real-world examples.

A certain amount of stress can be helpful, but too much is harmful. That’s why Emma Dymond – who’s passionate about her team’s wellbeing – has launched a trial of home blood tests that check levels of the stress hormone cortisol. Hear all about the trial here.

Neil Greenberg explains what PTSD is and how rail organisations can minimise its risk. He also interviews Michael Setchell, a former train driver, who experienced traumatic events at work, resulting in a PTSD diagnosis.

Bullying and harassment aren’t welcome here. In this session, Rachel Lewis draws on research to identify key actions to prevent, address, and manage conflict and negative relationships at work.

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.
