Join FSM and Apollo on the 4 November at 10:30am to explore how sustainability principles are being integrated into fire detection and alarm systems, with a focus on practical tools, standards, and case studies.
This session will explain key sustainability concepts and demonstrate how Apollo is embedding environmental responsibility across its operations and product lifecycle.
Attendees will gain insight into sustainability drivers, the need for action, the use of Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) to produce Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) or Technical Memorandum 65 (TM65s), and understand their growing relevance in procurement, compliance, and building certification schemes.
Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of tools and frameworks available to support sustainable decision-making in fire safety and a call to action to lead with purpose in their own organisations.

Join FSM and FFE on 5 November and explore a closer look at the science behind flame detection, including the use of optical sensors and multi-spectrum technology to recognise flame signatures.
Through real-world examples, we will discuss where flame detection adds significant value, from manufacturing facilities and chemical plants to recycling centres and aircraft hangars. We will also highlight how correct specification and installation play a key role in ensuring reliability and reducing false alarms.
The session will provide practical guidance for installers, engineers, and system designers on how to get the best from flame detection technology. We’ll cover specification tips, positioning advice, and how to reduce false alarms through correct setup.

Organisations all over the world experience complications, disruptions and failures that, in many cases, result in workplace incidents.
As EHS professionals, our goal is to create healthy and safe operating environments for all workers. Unfortunately, that isn’t always successful. To better protect our workforce, we must take steps to understand where and how we can grow in the realm of health and safety.
There are over 35,000 casualties each year, injured in road crashes that involve at least one person who was driving for work. To protect your staff and your business, you need to ensure your drivers understand the importance of driver safety – and the good practice standards you expect when your staff are driving for work.
If you’re a health and safety professional, you’ll know that the law says all companies must have policies and procedures in place to minimise risk – and that includes the recognised risks around driving.
Join our webinar whilst we look into the primary risks that need to be covered, ensuring your policy is up to date.
Compliance expectations are skyrocketing, and supply chain risks are more complex than ever. Can your contractor management strategy keep up?
Join this webinar for a high-impact session on futureproofing your contractor network. Drawing on real-world experiences.
Whether you’re a procurement leader, health & safety executive, or compliance strategist, this webinar will equip you with the foresight and tools to turn contractor compliance into a competitive advantage.

Join HSM and Intelex on 11 November to explore a fire side chat to reveal ways to connect across generations and create workplaces that are safer, more engaging, and built to last.
With Millennials and Gen Z comprising a larger portion of today’s workforce, organisations need to rethink their approach to workplace safety, health, and well-being. What can safety leaders do to help their organisations meet the needs of this generation?
Key Takeaways:
- Understand Gen Z’s Safety Expectations: Go beyond traditional protection to understand Gen Z’s broader safety expectations.
- Leverage Technology for Engagement: Explore how AI, wearables, mobile tools, and real-time feedback systems align with Gen Z’s digital-first mindset and reshape safety practices.
- Lead Across Generations: Learn strategies to align leadership styles, build trust, and foster purpose-driven engagement across the entire workforce.

Work-related stress, depression, and anxiety are now among the leading causes of workplace ill health in the UK, accounting for millions of lost working days each year. For organisations, this makes psychosocial risk both a safety challenge and an occupational health priority. Addressing it requires looking at physical and mental health together and ensuring employees are supported across their entire work journey.
Using frameworks such as ISO 45003 and HSE’s stress management standards as reference points, we’ll explore how a digital-first approach can make psychosocial risks visible, measurable, and manageable — enabling earlier intervention, stronger return-to-work processes, clearer reporting, and healthier outcomes for employees and organisations alike.
This webinar will address welding and abrasive hazards, highlighting how the right choice of PPE and abrasives can reduce risks and promote a safe, efficient work environment.
Daily exposure to hazards such as welding fumes and hand-arm vibration is a reality for welders and metalworkers.
The use of welding equipment and abrasive tools for tasks like weld preparation, welding, refinement, and finishing on different materials can result in respiratory, noise, injury, and vibration risks.However, innovative advancements in abrasives and PPE can control and offer enhanced protection to help mitigate these risks.
Health & Safety Managers are crucial in ensuring safe procedures are followed, though they often face challenges in balancing safety with production demands.
