True Cost of Harm

The moral argument is not enough.

Access to the recording will be shared soon.

Why do we have to fight so hard for engagement?

We work in a moral field, one that looks after people, their safety and their wellbeing. But when we are seeking a deeper level of engagement in our strategy and most importantly sign-off on the funding we need to implement it “this is the right thing to do” is rarely a sufficient business case to secure what we need to implement them and implement them well.

We have to change the narrative behind investing in health, safety and wellbeing initiatives. We need to bridge the gap between safety language and business language. AND, we need to elevate the understanding of safety’s impact on business performance and business success.

Join Crystal Danbury, Senior Lead in Health, Safety and Wellbeing as she talks through the true cost of harm and how she built leadership engagement by connecting safety to business language.

Crystal Danbury has over 20 years of experience in the health and safety profession, having worked across nuclear, rail, logistics, transport, telecoms, and retail. She was trained as a nuclear safety technician, a nuclear site first responder and as a national responder for public nuclear incidents by the age of 21. She took the rigour and grit from her frontline days in the nuclear industry and applied it in rail, where she conducted the first ever full-scale live line-side emergency exercise, taking rail emergency planning to a new level, and subsequently becoming part of an elite industry steering group. She continued her heavy impact across all her industries while rising at a steady pace to the top of more than one FSTE100, all the while changing organisations, teams, narratives, and culture and reducing harm consistently.
