A short summary provided by the No Falls Foundation of their first ever No Falls Conference as the dust settles on a successful event…
What a day! Last week (during No Falls Week), we held the very first No Falls Foundation conference followed by the return of our charity ball.
The energy and commitment in the room was inspiring – how incredible to be surrounded by so many people who are actively working to prevent falls from height and improve safety.
In the afternoon, host Tony Seddon welcomed a powerful lineup of speakers:
👉 Jason Anker MBE
👉 Abbi T.
👉 Tim Marsh
👉 Gary Latta, PhD, CFIOSH, MIFSM
👉 Billy Hare
👉 Peter Bennett OBE
👉 David Thomas
👉 Rob Harris
👉 Hash Maitra
👉 Dan Atkinson
Each brought their unique perspective and experience to the stage, sparking important conversations about safety at height.
Meanwhile, our exhibitors – Safety, Health & Wellbeing Live, Versalift United Kingdom Limited, International Powered Access Federation (IPAF), SAEMA Ltd, SPS SAFENET LTD, Simulanis, Guardian, SpanSet UK, HSS Training and JLG Industries – showcased how their organisations support safe working at height.
Our hope? That everyone left with new knowledge, tools and connections to help make their workplaces safer.
Then came the evening: an unforgettable night of dinner, dancing and fundraising – brilliantly hosted by Steve Booker. We also heard moving words from ambassador Dylan Skelhorn (Safety Up and Ladder Locker), reminding us how the funds raised directly support those affected by a fall, while driving vital research and prevention work.
Falls from height are still causing too many injuries and deaths, but together, we can change that. Thank you to everyone who made this special day possible and to all who support our mission to ensure that everyone who works at height makes it back down safely.
