SHiFT Bring Together UK Full Fibre Operators to Improve Health and Safety

The SHiFT Group (Safety & Health in Fibre Telecoms), which was setup a few years ago to help improve health and safety practices and standards across the UK’s fibre broadband industry, has informed ISPreview that they will once again be bringing network operators together at a conference on 2^nd April 2025 – at the Heart of England Events and conferencing centre.

Last year SHiFT had around 300 people from over 180 companies attend the event. This year they have the HSE (Health and Safety Executive) coming along to talk about the increased focus that they are placing on Health and Welling and preventing work related ill health.

So the aim of the conference is to increase the awareness and importance of managing health and wellbeing across the fibre telecoms industry, and they have a number of guest speakers lined up to talk about managing stress, manual handling, monitoring air quality as well as other important safety issues impacting the industry at the moment – working at height, artificial intelligence etc.
