Posted By Diane Wilson I am looking towards benchmarking my organisation's health and safety performance against that of other organisations and would be interested to hear from anyone in a local authority or large complex organisation who have gone down that route already, or who would be interested in participating in a benchmarking partnership group.

Posted By Jonathan Breeze It is an area I am interested in developing with our company, but am prevented for financial reasons. If only they would see the benefits & not just the costs, but I digress. Check out the business tools section of the CBI website for examples of companies that have gone down this route. www.cbi.org.uk Jon

Posted By Duncan Brown Hi Diane I thought you might be interested in a new video we have produced with the CBI about world class safety values.In "The Secret Weapon" we visited Dupont's currently best peforming site in Maydown Northern Ireland to show how a set of realistic and consistent core safety values can have a tremendous impact on safety and,in turn,business performance.Lorna would be interested that the film shows how safety needs to be viewed as a business opportunity rather than just a loss control exercise.Give me a call on 020 8289 2466 if you want to see the video or have a look at our website www.outtakes.co.uk under new films for a brief outline. Thanks Duncan Brown
