CPI Biennial Health Safety Conference

Sponsored by Pilz Automation Technology, this unique event for CPI Members is aimed at CEOs, operational managers and supervisors, health safety practitioners and safety representatives working in the Paper Industry.

Around 200 delegates from key industry players attended the last Conference in 2011, and with another high-level seminar programme planned for this year’s event, CPI expects to match that attendance.

The theme of this year’s event will be ‘Working Together: Making the Paper Industry SAFER... today, tomorrow and for the future’. Without question, one of this country’s greatest achievements in recent years has been the 2012 Olympics. CPI is delighted to have Lawrence Waterman OBE, Head of Health Safety for the Olympic Delivery Authority and Head of Health Safety for the London Legacy Development Corporation. Lawrence will be speaking about the “Big Build” and how the success of the project can be attributed to EVERYONE working together and the lessons that can be applied within any sector. Delegates will benefit from sessions with speakers who include:

• Nick Ratty - Head of the Manufacturing, Transportation and Utilities sector (HSE), who will provide a review of HSE and PABIAC (The Paper and Board Industry Advisory Committee) HSE progress against the Lofstedt law reforms and AcoPs, the introduction of Fee for Intervention and the impact on PABIAC and the role of HSE in the future.
• Paul Mahoney who worked as a Process Operator/Engineer at the Recycled Fibre plant in Kemsley when he was involved in a very serious incident that changed his whole life and attitude towards safety.

• David Collier, Pilz Automation Technology - Competence and Safeguarding Human-Machine Interactions in the Paperboard Industry
