    TEXT: 
  /LP,/TX  A two-day conference organised jointly by the Republic's Health and 
    Safety Authority and the Health and Safety Agency for Northern 
    Ireland in 10 days time should set the agenda for developments in the 
    rapidly changing world of work and the increasingly important place 
    of health and safety within it. 
     
       Entitled "Employability - a new era in workplace health and 
    safety", Dr P.J. Claffey, deputy chief inspector at the HSA, will 
    explore how the changing patterns of work are leading to changing 
    patterns of risk. 
     
  /TX     Dr Dan Murphy, director of occupational medical services at the 
    HSA, will explore what is meant by "employability", while Mrs Janet 
    Asherson, head of environment, health and safety at the Confederation 
    of British Industry will give a European employer's perspective on 
    employability. Meanwhile, Mr John Walls, an economic adviser to 
    Britain's Health and Safety Executive, will give an economic 
    perspective on whether "humanising" the workplace is a benefit or a 
    burden. The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act, 1989, is 10 years 
    old and a review was recently initiated by Minister of State, Mr Tom 
    Kitt TD. Mr Con Body, board secretary of the HSA, will lead a 
    workshop on the review which is expected to be completed by next 
    autumn. 
     
    (...) 
     
       Health and safety inspectors will be available during the two days 
    to give individual advice on any health and safety problems 
    experienced by delegates. To avail of this service, delegates should 
    inform the HSA that they would like to make an appointment with an 
    inspector while booking for the conference. 
     
       The conference takes place at Dublin Castle on March 1st and 2nd 
    and costs (pounds) 200 (E253.95) per delegate. For further details, 
    contact Ms Debbie McDonnell, HSA, 10 Hogan Place, Dublin 2.
