Bank branches, trading floors, call centres and other offices all require different levels of ergonomics support, training and interventions. We recognise the need for banks to meet regulations around ergonomics while differentiating their support to the various working environments. With that in mind, we’d like to invite you to our Banking Ergonomics Breakfast Briefing.

On the 28th February, between 8am and 11am, we’re going to bring together the banking safety community along with hand-picked experts for an event that will tackle some of the most important ergonomics issues that affect you.

Over the course of 3 hours, our hand-picked speakers will be considering the challenges of good ergonomics practice in branches, trading floors, call centres and other environments.

This free-to-attend event will take place on at our offices on Leadenhall Street. Breakfast will be included

Talk Overviews:

How big changes in banking have affected ergonomics, health and wellbeing

Juliet Raine, physiotherapist and ergonomics consultant, will take you on a journey through different roles, looking specifically at how tasks have changed and what this has meant for employees within bank branches. She will provide an insight into the demands placed on the human body and how these demands have changed as the workload has evolved. This will enable you to understand why a focus on health and well-being must be a central aspect in branch design and in the evolution of policy and procedure. Simple ways to future-proof the business, facilitate a positive safety culture, overcome the challenges in any change management process and improve the health and well-being of employees will be discussed.

Ergonomics in trading environments

DAS Business Furniture, market leaders in the design and manufacture of trading desks for over 30 years, will deliver a talk in conjunction with long term partners Colebrook Bosson Saunders, covering many aspects of ergonomics on trading floors. The world of trading is seeing huge change, particularly with the advent of modern screen technology and the ways in which traders process information. DAS and CBS will discuss all things ergonomics in trading environments, covering the latest trends in monitor support, agile working, sit-stand working and the integration of technology in the workplace.

Banking ergonomics solutions

Jon Abbott will discuss the latest banking ergonomics solution from Cardinus Risk Management. Covering office employees, trading floor employees, bank branch employees and call centre employees, it's a holistic software solution to solve the problems of ergonomics training and risk assessments for staff operating in diverse bank environments.

FAQs

What are my transport/parking options for getting to and from the event?

The nearest tube stations are Bank or Aldgate. Liverpool Street is also a short walk away.

You should look out for a sign for number 107 outside the entrance but the numbers on Leadenhall Street are not necessarily in odd and even number sequence. As a guide it is on the opposite (north) side of Leadenhall Street from the Lloyds Building and close to the corner of Leadenhall Street with St Mary Axe.

You do not need to bring your ticket but you will be asked to register.
