Webinar: How to build a safety culture before a crisis strikes

28 October 2026

Every year, an estimated 55,000 workers in Great Britain’s manufacturing sector sustain a non-fatal injury at work (1). Every incident puts more than the alarm system to the test. It tests whether people, processes and technology can work together when every second counts. In this 45-minute webinar, keynote speaker and leading process safety expert Trish Kerin shows how to close the gap between an alarm and a response. Because that is where a safer workplace begins, and where technology starts saving lives.

About the webinar

Most safety systems measure if the alarm works, not what happens next. Where hesitation, assumptions, and alarm fatigue take over. Technology should not just sound an alert; it must augment human behavior so emergency response becomes automatic and intuitive. 

Alarm fatigue, unclear ownership, cultures where speaking up feels risky: these are leadership questions, and they are live in your organisation today. The technology is the hardware of safety. This session is about the human software that decides, in those first minutes, between a near miss and an incident.

For HSE managers, safety directors, and operations leaders across heavy industry, chemicals, oil & gas, and critical infrastructure.
