About this Webinar

The health and safety profession has passed a critical event horizon. As advanced technologies and AI rapidly integrate into high-consequence environments, we face an unexpected paradox: industrial safety metrics are heavily monitored, yet psychological distress is soaring. With a vast majority of the emerging workforce reporting extreme stress and anxiety, our traditional reliance on "sticking plaster" solutions is failing. 

In this session of Safety Voices, Julian Taylor sits down with Richard Bate, President of IOSH, who brings over 30 years of global experience managing critical risk across the Olympics, heavy industry, and world-class motorsport including Mercedes F1, McLaren F1, and Apple TV+’s recent F1 film. 

Together, they will challenge the rigid focus on compliance data and explore "Co-Intelligence”, a collaborative approach that keeps humans in the loop. Moving past academic theories, Richard will share his deeply personal perspective on managing trauma, why online "perks" cannot replace proactive prevention, and how leaders can leverage technology to build a genuine circle of trust.
