Roundtable Discussion: Embedding Behaviour-Based Safety in Biopharma Culture
11:40 am
- Explore how to translate EHS training into consistent, observable safety behaviours that reduce human error and strengthen trust across teams
- Share practical techniques for constructive communication, peer coaching, and intervening on unsafe acts without confrontation or blame
- Discuss how to measure and sustain behavioural engagement over time, ensuring safety habits persist across shifting teams and evolving operations

Roundtable Discussion: Competence, Culture, & Communication for New Biopharma Frontiers
3:00 pm
- How can EHS and operations teams build competency pipelines and use AI-assisted knowledge retrieval to accelerate readiness when programmes pivot rapidly to new modalities like vaccines, radiopharma, or gene therapy?
- In an environment of clinical uncertainty, staffing churn, and contractor variability, what practical rituals or leadership behaviours help sustain a consistent safety culture and psychological stability across teams?
- How can early-stage EHS engagement de-risk environmental and permitting challenges, particularly for waste, water, and infrastructure, to ensure smoother tech transfer and operational continuity across sites?
