8:00 am Check-In for Pre-Conference Workshop Day
Workshop Track 1
Technical Track for Site-Level EHS Professionals
9:00 am Workshop A: Controlling Exposure to New Drug Modalities – ADCs, Cell & Gene Therapies & Radiopharmaceuticals
Master the technical challenges of safely handling next generation therapeutics including antibody-drug conjugates
(ADCs), cell and gene therapies, and radiopharmaceuticals like Actinium-225.
This deep-dive workshop covers occupational exposure banding (OEB) methodologies, quantitative exposure assessment techniques, and engineering control strategies for high-potency compounds. Learn how to evaluate containment solutions, select appropriate equipment vendors within budget constraints, and implement closed-system handling for alpha emitters and other high-risk isotopes. Walk away with risk assessment frameworks, exposure control hierarchies, and vendor evaluation criteria specifically tailored to emerging biopharma modalities.
Workshop Track 2
Strategic Track for Global EHS Leaders
9:00 am Workshop B: Building High-Performance EHS Teams – Onboarding, Training & Leadership Development for Biopharma Excellence
Equip yourself with proven strategies to build, develop, and retain world-class EHS talent in an increasingly competitive market.
This workshop addresses the critical shortage of qualified EHS professionals by providing actionable frameworks for effective onboarding, targeted training programs, and leadership development pathways. You’ll learn how to advocate successfully for additional headcount, create compelling
business cases for EHS investments, and develop succession planning strategies that ensure long-term program sustainability. Leave with templates, checklists, and real-world examples from pharma leaders who have successfully scaled their teams.
12:00 pm Lunch
1:00 pm Workshop C: Preventing Serious Injuries & Fatalities in Biopharma Through Risk Assessment, Critical Control Verification & High-Risk Work Management
Move beyond traditional incident metrics to proactively identify and prevent Serious Injuries and Fatalities (SIFs) across biopharma laboratories, manufacturing facilities and construction projects.
This hands-on workshop will provide practical approaches to identifying high-consequence hazards, assessing SIF potential and strengthening critical safety controls across activities including hazardous energy isolation, confined space entry, hot work and contractor operations. Through realistic biopharma scenarios and interactive exercises, apply bowtie risk assessment methodologies to map potential incident pathways, identify preventative and mitigating barriers, and evaluate where critical controls could fail. Explore how to establish effective control verification processes, assign accountability and use leading indicators to identify weaknesses before
serious incidents occur. Leave with actionable risk assessment frameworks, critical control verification checklists and practical strategies for prioritising high-risk activities to prevent serious harm across your organization.
1:00 pm Workshop D: Implementing Human & Organizational Performance (HOP) – Moving from Blame to Systems Thinking in Safety Culture
Transform your safety culture by implementing Human & Organizational Performance principles that shift focus from individual blame to system improvement.
This interactive workshop provides hands-on experience with operational learning tools including leadership walkthroughs, learning teams, and one-on-one coaching techniques that build trust and psychological safety. You’ll practice facilitating learning conversations, develop skills to respond constructively when incidents occur, and create action plans for embedding HOP principles into your daily operations. Gain practical takeaways including conversation guides, learning team facilitation templates, and measurement frameworks to demonstrate culture improvement over time.
