This year's British Glass Annual Health & Safety Conference and Exhibition (jointly with the Glass & Glazing Federation) is to be held at the Mere Golf and Country Club in Knutsford on the 2nd November 2005. The theme this year is Worker Involvement.

‘Companies that seek to make their safety management systems more effective see that involving their workers improves safety performance,’ said Declan Moore, British Glass' Health & Safety Manager.

‘Partnerships are essential for health and safety performance to be successful and involving the workforce means that health and safety becomes everybody's business.’

Guest speaker this year will be the European Minister for Social Policy, Professor Garreth Class. He will be discussing proposed amendments to related European directives that are likely to affect the industry over the coming year. He will also be presenting the prestigious Glass Charter Awards in the afternoon, now in their third year.

The keynote speaker is to be Stewart Barnes, Divisional Director of HansenGroup.
