“We are looking forward to connecting with delegates from around the world and supporting stronger global networks within the profession by generating greater engagement and collaboration, and sharing our stories and insights from down under,” says Naomi Kemp (COHSProf) and AIHS Chair.
AIHS represents the occupational safety and health profession in policy, advocacy and standards work, and provides a wide range of services to the field including career support, peer engagement, information services, professional development and career learning opportunities for health and safety practitioners.
Ms Kemp further shares how AIHS is the steward of “the OHS Body of Knowledge (OHS BoK) which is available globally and is foundational in OHS educational, certification and professional development programs. Our involvement in the World Congress enables us to continue to share the value of the OHS BoK and influence improvements to health and safety education, training and awareness.”
