Safe Care Culture - where Everyone Owns Safety. Delivering Zero Harm and also, Increased Productivity.
This presentation enables a leg up to this new workplace. It will contrast the old and often current with the new workplace that will be focus on power with people rather than power over them. A workplace steeped in respect that treats all as adults that are responsible and motivated. Imagine that as the norm! Let’s stop designing for the 1 who does not want to play and focus on the other 9 and build the capability of discretionary effort. Where Everyone Owns Safety – no longer just a leadership domain. It will provide a framework for you to enact this change. To design for the 9 that want this new approach rather than the 1 who is trouble and who often gets the most attention in organisational life.

Cyber Security Across The Supply Chain
Supply Chain and Logistics plays a critical role in today's global commerce landscape. As digitalisation becomes more prevalent, so do the vulnerabilities to cyber threats. You’ll discover how cyber risks like phishing and social engineering target employees, gaining unauthorised access to sensitive systems. We’ll explore how ransomware attacks disrupt operations by encrypting data and demanding ransom, while data breaches expose confidential customer and operational information. Additionally, learn about the dangers of supply chain attacks that compromise third-party vendors and IoT vulnerabilities that offer entry points for malicious actors. The consequences of cyber attacks on supply chain and logistics operations can be devastating. Operational disruptions lead to delays, shutdowns, and inefficiencies, resulting in significant financial losses from ransom payments, recovery costs, and lost revenue. Furthermore, cyber incidents can cause severe reputational damage, eroding customer trust and market position, and can lead to regulatory consequences, including fines and legal actions due to non-compliance with data protection laws. In this presentation, we’ll cover recent and relevant cyber attacks, providing you with a deeper understanding of the threats facing businesses like yours. We’ll also highlight key areas to focus on to mitigate the likelihood of an attack, giving your organisation the best chance to remain secure in an increasingly digital world. Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your cybersecurity awareness and learn practical strategies to protect your operations.

Lithium-ion in material handling
The manufacturing industry is shrouded in myths about Lithium-ion forklifts. Linde Material Handling has the expertise to disprove industry myths and instead educate with cold, hard facts. Fact vs. Fiction • High-capacity Electric Trucks: Electric forklifts can handle loads as effectively as their Internal Combustion counterparts. • Efficiency and Voltage Stability: Lithium-ion technology provide superior efficiency and voltage stability. • Key Questions for Transition: There are four critical factors to keep in mind when considering the switch from IC to electric. • Opportunity Charging: Two words - operational flexibility. Benefits of transitioning from Internal Combustion forklifts to Electric models • Rising Demand: The market for electric-powered forklifts that improve efficiency is rapidly growing. • Eco-friendly Solutions: Lithium-ion powered forklifts are clean, sustainable solutions. • Higher Energy Efficiency: Lithium-ion technology offers higher energy efficiency. Automation in material handling Automation is a common topic for discussion and Linde Material Handling has the expertise to educate the industry. Myth vs. fact – separating fact from fiction about Automation • Safety Compliance: Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) must adhere to stringent ISO safety standards, ensuring very low failure rates for safety system components. • Process Consistency: Automation ensures consistent, efficient and flexible processes. • Productivity: Automation boost productivity, reduces personnel injuries, and minimises damage to goods and infrastructure. • Cost Efficiency: Although automated machines have high upfront costs, they can pay for themselves in as little as 18 months in suitable applications and multi-shift operations. • Optimal Use Cases: Automation excels in regular, repetitive tasks, ensuring consistent and efficient operations. • Workforce Impact: With fewer drivers entering the workforce, automation mitigates the risk of replacing operators with machines. Instead, it takes on simple, time-consuming tasks, allowing humans to take on higher-value activities.
