Make 2026 Your Safest Year Yet

There's a hard truth many of us don't like to admit we're incredibly busy in safety, yet not always as effective as we could be. This conversation is the panel session from an online event I co-hosted, bringing together some sharp minds in the field including Louise, Carla and Davy, where we challenged what really moves the needle in safety and risk. Not more paperwork, not more audits for the sake of it but sharper thinking, better conversations, and a relentless focus on what actually works. If 2026 is going to be your safest year yet, it starts with questioning some uncomfortable habits and getting back to what truly matters.   Highlights: Risk assessments without action: paperwork over performance  Data without follow-up: insight lost, no improvement  Manual handling myths: outdated training still widespread  Busy but ineffective: activity not equal to impact  Speak to people: real understanding starts on the ground  Slow down to speed up: reduce reactive overload  Leadership language gap: align with boardroom priorities  Safety role shift: generalist thinking over specialist silos   Resources and actions: Sign up for a future Safety Roundtable: https://safetyroundtable.co.uk/ Connect with Louise on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/louisehosking/ Connect with Carla on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carlacrocombe888/ Connect with Davy on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davy-snowdon-mbe/ Connect with Christian on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christian-harris-slip-safety/
