b'Richard Coleman knows a thing or two about digital disruption.\\xa0 He has put a number of practical and very cool digital technologies to good use for health and safety, and has his finger on the pulse with the broader digital landscape. \\xa0 Make no mistake, digital disruption is happening, is only getting bigger & faster, and it creates great opportunity, or poses a great threat to current health and safety approaches - Richard invites us to choose opportunity. \\xa0 In this chat, we cover: \\u2013 What we mean by digital disruption (if you think you know, you\'re probably wrong like I was) \\u2013 The role of health and safety driving and supporting adoption of new and emerging technologies \\u2013 The drastic impact disruptive technology can make in eliminating risks, changing the way work is done, and introducing a range of new risks - How prepared current health and safety is (both the approach, and the professionals) for disruption that has already begun \\xa0 Peter is our there making a difference in the world - which I suppose should also be the aim of anyone caring for the health and safety of people? Plenty for us to identify with. \\xa0 You can hear more of Richard at the\\xa0National Safety Convention\\xa0\\u2013 get your tickets\\xa0here. \\xa0 Let\\u2019s get to know each other!
