What are the health and safety webinars?
Our health and safety webinars are ideal for keeping you up to date on a range of the latest health and safety topics. Every couple of weeks, we will be hosting sessions that bring together speakers from organisations across the world, to share their opinions and experiences.
Why should you attend the health and safety webinars?
An estimated 2.3million people around the world die from work-related accidents or diseases every year – that’s more than 6,000 deaths every single day. Worldwide, in total there are around 340million occupational accidents and 160million victims of work-related illnesses annually. Work-related and new cases of ill health cost the UK £15billion annually.
The RoSPA webinars are an opportunity to listen, learn, share best practice, and ask your questions on a variety of different health and safety topics. It’s a way to stay connected and engage with fellow professionals to help you keep your employees safe.

Safe and Healthy Drivers: Obstructive Sleep Apnoea
Wednesday 9 November 11:00 GMT
Obstructive Sleep Apnoea is a sleep disorder which affects around one in eight people. Prevalence of the condition is rising, and, in some countries, it is known to exceed 50% of the adult population, driven by the growing incidence of obesity - a major risk factor for OSA. Worryingly OSA often goes undiagnosed.
The Association of British Insurers has suggested that driving with untreated OSA may invalidate your car insurance as it is a significant risk factor that increases the chances of having a road traffic accident.
This week we are joined by representatives from the Sleep Apnoea Trust, and Firmley Hospital, to discuss the symptoms, diagnosis, treatment options and implications of untreated OSA.
Are we working too comfortably? | Sedentary behaviour whilst working from home
Wednesday 23 November 11:00 GMT
Working patterns have changed dramatically due to COVID-19, with many workers now spending at least a portion of their working week at home. The workplace is a setting already associated with high levels of sedentary behaviour, with evidence showing office-based employees can spend up to 82% of their working day sitting. There is emerging evidence that working at home further elevates these levels.
This week, we will be joined by Sarah Morton, Senior Researcher at the University of Edinburgh, as she discusses what works to reduce sedentary behaviour in an office environment, and whether this could be transferable to support those working at home.
