EFD Live: Disability. A health and safety risk? FREE to EFD members
10th March 2010, 2:00pm - 03.00pm
- What is the relationship between the DDA and health and safety legislation - what takes priority?
- When is an adjustment unreasonable because of a health and safety risk?
- Is it a real health and safety risk or just paranoia?
These are the type of questions we will be exploring during the latest EFD Live!, a series of interactive, radio style phone-ins. We want to hear from you and to share the opinions and experiences of the members with each other, so this event is designed to give you a forum to learn and contribute.
Chaired by Rick Williams, this interactive radio stylephone-in will bring together Employers' Forum on Disability members and EFD experts. We will use telephone tutorial technology to discuss the latest disability news affecting your organisation.
Rick will be joined by Catherine Cottam, Head of External Diversity Policy of the Strategic Interventions Division at the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), plus Bela Gor, EFD's Legal Director, together with a member of EFD's Disability Directions team.
This event is free to gold members.
