NEBOSH announces first ever digital conference

Experts from the Health and Safety Executive, Travis Perkins, Johnson Matthey, Kier Highways, Cambridge Assessment and the Filipino International League of Safety Advocates, plus many more, will take to the screen to share their advice and learnings. 

The free-to-attend, one-day online event takes place on 5 October 2021 and registration is open now at https://conference.nebosh.org.uk/live/en/page/home

The conference comes at what has been a turbulent time for people everywhere. It will explore how health and safety professionals can help the organisations and workers in their care to be more resilient to challenges and change. Safety professionals spend so much time caring for other people that they must remember to care for themselves too; the agenda takes a closer look at careers as well as mindfulness to take some time for their own wellbeing.

“NEBOSH’s vision is to make the world of work a safer and healthier place. This conference will offer more learning opportunities to professionals, wherever they are in the world.” said Matt Powell-Howard, NEBOSH Head of Learning and Partnerships. “With a jam-packed agenda and a line-up of expert speakers, it’s going to be a great event!”
