Join us for an interactive roundtable with three focused discussion tables exploring how to maintain momentum and impact in Serious Injury and Fatality (SIF) prevention programs over the long term. Many organisations launch successful initiatives, but sustaining engagement beyond the initial phase remains the biggest challenge. This session will dig into practical strategies for keeping programs fresh, credible, and deeply embedded in your culture.

  • Recognising and Overcoming Program Fatigue: common signs, strategies to reignite and discovering why most SIF prevention programs lose momentum after 12–24 months
  • Building Fatality Prevention into Your Culture: proactive approaches, making prevention part of your organisational DNA and leveraging evidence-based methods to sustain credibility and impact
  • Leadership Visibility and Everyday Integration: Maintaining ongoing leadership focus, embedding SIF prevention into daily operations and avoiding the trap of limiting focus to safety events or audits

Enhancing Top-Down Leadership Accountability to Streamline Communication & Empower Safety Culture
3:00 pm

Despite evolving regulations and increasing complexity in biopharma, this workshop emphasises that effective safety leadership must come from the top, not just the EHS department. Join us to explore practical strategies for building leadership accountability across all levels of the business.

Highlights include:

  • How biopharma companies are shifting from EHS as a legal requirement to EHS as a leadership competency
  • Creating safety leadership programs (e.g., behaviour-based safety, life-saving rules, leadership walk-throughs) that stick
  • Building capability: Making sure senior leaders know not just what to do, but why it matters
  • How visible, values-driven leadership in safety can strengthen trust, improve culture, and boost performance
  • Benchmarking how top companies respond to incidents and how leadership presence makes or breaks safety culture
