    This is an experiment in using the Forum software's live chat facility for the first time.
    It is also an experiment in using the Forum's 'event' facility. Bear with me.

    Craig Marriott is general manager health, safety, environment & quality with FirstGas.
    He was scheduled to speak at the 2020 Safeguard Conference about developing an effective long-term health & safety strategy.
    The conference has since been cancelled due to the pandemic (it has been rescheduled for 1-2 June 2021).

    Craig has kindly agreed to be the guest expert in our first Forum Q&A session. He will be on the Forum for an hour, starting 10am Friday 3 April.

    The idea is that Forum members send in questions. They come to the moderator (that's me), who selects the best ones for Craig to respond to.

    Given that many businesses have suspended their operations due to the pandemic, it might be the ideal time to do some long-term thinking about H&S strategy when the lockdown ends.

    For those businesses still operating, the issue might be: how do I rapidly adapt whatever H&S strategy currently exists to the new reality?

    Anyway, let's give it a go on Friday. If it works we'll try it again, maybe weekly, with a new guest each time.

    (Any errors will be mine as I try to set this up for the first time.)

    I have tweaked the Forum's settings so that, from now on, all questions for Craig's session tomorrow will come to me privately for consideration. So I can release them one at a time during the chat session.

    So ... fire away! What queries about H&S strategy do you have?

    To warm things up before we get started, here is Craig's story about H&S strategy development from the Sept/Oct 2019 edition of Safeguard.

    One last question coming up before we let Craig go ...

    Craig - many thanks for making yourself available for this first live chat session. And for the quality of your answers. I hope your typing fingers aren't too sore. Please shout yourself a coffee break - you deserve it!

    And thanks to everyone for chipping in questions. There were around 30 forum members online during this session, which is good to see.

    I'll try to organise another one for next Friday - to be announced!
