The Contribution Of Flight Simulation to Aviation Safety 9-10 November 2011, No.4 Hamilton Place, London, UK
Over this two day conference, sessions addressed the latest developments in upset recovery research and training for large aircraft, with particular reference to simulator based training.
At the other end of the scale, technological advances in low cost simulation show considerable promise in tackling the worryingly high accident rates in General Aviation, both fixed and rotary wing. For all aircraft types, it is simulators that are designed and accredited to be fit for purpose, and a number of papers will look at how this might be achieved. Similarly, the increasing interest in instructor performance, and in how instructional standards can be standardised, will be addressed. Simulation also plays a growing part in maintenance engineering training, particularly in regard to 'software driven' aircraft. Maintenance engineers make a significant, and often unrecognised, contribution to safety, and this conference will include an examination of that contribution. |

A vital debate: how health and safety regulatory reform will aff ect the risk industry 25 October 2010The Great Hall, Chartered Insurance Institute, 20 Aldermanbury, London, EC2V 7HY
In September The Rt Hon the Lord Young of Graffham published his proposals to reform the UK’s health & safety regulatory framework.
Lord Young’s proposals will have a direct impact on anyone involved in health and safety.
Will a dilution of health and safety regulation result in more accidents and injuries? Will an attack on compensation culture be a welcome boost to insurers but upset the legal profession? Cardinus Risk Management, in partnership with the International Institute of Risk & Safety Management, hosted a unique forum to hear how we all might be affected. Lord Young of Graff ham, Gerard Forlin QC and David Smith, Managing Director of the UK’s leading employers’ liability insurer Zurich Insurance, each considered how the regulatory, legal and underwriting future of UK safety will be affected following the publication of Lord Young’s report.
The UK has the best health and safety record in the world. We must be very careful that this pole position is maintained. Nothing must jeopardise it.
That said, it is true that certain aspects of health and safety legislation and, in particular, how certain cases are investigated, funded and brought may need to be reviewed. Getting the correct balance will be an extremely difficult task to achieve. We all need to work together on this important task.

Gerry spoke on Human trafficking and forced labour in the business sector: corporate governance and best practices for preserving corporate integrity and moral authority examining the problem of human trafficking and forced labour in several international business sectors. We will look at the role some corporations play in the proliferation of human trafficking worldwide, how corporate complicity and competition in the marketplace sustain exploitation and abuse of the world’s labour force, the financial impact of such practices, and the lack of enforcement to combat trafficking and forced servitude within the manufacturing and supply chain of a transnational corporate entity.
He examined steps that some multinational corporations have taken to discourage and prevent human trafficking and forced labour practices in their supply and manufacturing operations by discussing the role of corporate governance and the development of best practices to help corporations resist the temptations and corrupting influences that would otherwise compel them to traffic in human beings for forced servitude.
