Creating a safety culture and knowing how to measure it in your organisation is crucial to preventing workplace injury and disease. While we all have a shared responsibility to achieve Vision Zero, this conference focuses on the essential role leadership and worker participation plays in developing a culture of prevention. This conference offers you the chance to share knowledge, engage with and learn from work health and safety professionals shaping safer and healthier workplaces worldwide.
The world of work is transforming at a rapid pace. Workplace robotics and artificial intelligence, flexible work models and the burgeoning gig economy are some of the factors driving this change. From business leaders and human resource managers to social services, hospitality, mining, and NGOs (Non-Government Organisations) – we’re all thinking differently about risks in the modern world.
This conference asks how we can evolve our thinking to tackle new risks and seize opportunities, such as the blending of work and home life, the connection with holistic health and mental health, and solutions that use human-centred design and behavioural insights for harm prevention.
Safety management and preventing occupational disease in high-risk industries like construction, education, medical, transport and health care are not new challenges.
This conference opens dialogue for us to rethink and solve persistent problems to build safer workplaces for the future. Hear about advancements in our understanding of traditional harms. Learn about innovative solutions that are tackling traditional problems, and discover best practices that help deal with ongoing health and safety risks, such as safety in design safety data, and employee satisfaction.
