A show first and exclusive, IOSH will be hosting their dedicated conference on the first two days of the show at the Keynote theatre. Day 1 is focused on tomorrow’s OSH practitioner. Health and safety professionals have a vital part to play in creating resilient organisations. Their function is evolving from providing technical support function to an enabling role, helping business to thrive and maintain productivity in an uncertain, fast-changing world. Their importance is growing as investors, supply chains and the public insist on more accountability from businesses for their impacts on people and places. IOSH, the world’s leading chartered professional body for people responsible for safety and health in the workplace, hosts sessions examining the broadening professional agenda, from OSH as a human right to managing mental health and wellbeing.

On Day 2, IOSH focuses on the professional journey. Anyone choosing a career in safety and health has more reasons than those in other disciplines to want to be the best professional they can. The wish to do a good job for their employers and to achieve their full potential is boosted by the imperative to protect others from harm. IOSH’s sessions in the Keynote Theatre will give practitioners food for thought on how to achieve all three aims, whether it is maximising their impact in organisations or raising their professional standing. As the business landscape changes, experts will consider the place of professional ethics in OSH management and the value of increasing workforce diversity and helping develop others.

Another show exclusive include The Health & Safety Executive’s conference on day three, who will cover pressing topics such as mental health, musculoskeletal disorders, risk assessments and more.
