Free Event for CAS Members
Closing the Gaps | preventing costly H&S failures in your business
Are you confident your business is safe – or are you one incident away from a costly disaster? Join us at our free in-person event in Glasgow designed to help employers reduce risk.
In this free session, our Health & Safety expert will help you understand where risk typically hides, what the law expects from businesses in 2026, and the steps you should be taking now to protect your people and your organisation, before enforcement action or an avoidable accident creates lasting impact.
13 May 2.00 pm - 4.00 pm
WorkNest, The Beacon, 176 St Vincent St, Glasgow G2 5SG
For UK businesses, health and safety isn’t optional – it’s a legal responsibility. Yet many well-run small organisations operate with serious compliance gaps that only come to light after an incident, inspection or claim.
When that happens, the consequences can be severe – substantial fines, director responsibility, lost productivity, compensation claims, reputational damage and, in some cases, long-term business disruption or closure. For smaller organisations in particular, recovery is not always guaranteed.
At this free in-person session, we’ll share practical guidance to help you understand your legal responsibilities, strengthen compliance, and reduce risk.
What's on the agenda
- The most common health and safety risks in small businesses – and why they’re often overlooked: Including risk assessment, slips and trips, manual handling, and training gaps.
- How to meet your legal responsibilities with confidence: What the law requires from directors and leaders – and how to implement it effectively.
- How to prevent incidents escalating into major disruption: A practical look at how accidents develop into financial and operational impact – and how to stop that chain reaction.
- Five priority actions to strengthen compliance: Clear steps to reduce risk and improve resilience.
- CAS member benefits: Discover what advice and resources are available to you through WorkNest and how to access this support.
Got a question?
We know these challenges raise a lot of questions for employers, which is why we’ll wrap up with a Q&A. If you’ve got a burning question about health and safety or compliance, bring it along, our experts will cover as many as possible.
By attending this event, delegates will:
- Gain an awareness of your health and safety responsibilities, how to prepare for the unexpected and reduce overall risk.
- Learn how to meet your legal responsibilities with confidence and how to implement it effectively.
- Gain clear and practical guidance on how to minimise risk, avoid costly disruption and stay compliant.
This practical briefing is suitable for CAS members, keen to learn more about key health and safety considerations, how to minimise risk and stay compliant. This is your opportunity to ask our health and safety experts any pertinent questions you may have about how to protect your business.
