Last year was a challenging year for all. Managing and preventing the spread of the coronavirus at work was a priority for our members and businesses around the world. We worked hard to support occupational safety and health (OSH) professionals with key information and webinars on pandemic-related issues, advice on career development, and training programmes.
By working together with our members, businesses and the OSH community, we achieved significant positive impacts in 2020, which we were proud to share on our social media channels last month.
Supporting you through Covid-19
In 2021, we will continue to provide the latest advice and guidance on managing Covid-19 and will support members with resources and training to progress their career in safety and health.
Our Covid-19 webinar series will share key information on pandemic-related issues and our coronavirus webpages will be regularly updated to provide you with information on our latest webinars, guides and e-learning.
Join our second Future Leaders Conference
We’re also delighted to host our second Future Leaders Conference on 16-18 March 2021 entitled ‘Steering towards a brighter tomorrow’. This virtual conference is designed especially for early career professionals in occupational safety and health.
At the event, you’ll hear from industry experts and have the opportunity to attend workshops and network. So, wherever you are in the world you can take part.
Raising awareness on key dates
In addition, we are proud to support key awareness days including World Cancer Day on 4 February and World Day for Safety and Health at Work and International Workers’ Memorial on 28 April.
This year’s Word Cancer Day theme is, ‘I Am and I Will’, which is all about you and your commitment to act. On the day, we will highlight our No Time to Lose campaign which aims to raise awareness of occupational cancer and help businesses take action by providing free practical resources.
The World Day for Safety and Health at Work is organised by the International Labour Organization (ILO) and is an annual international campaign to promote safe, healthy and decent work. On the same date, Workers’ Memorial Day highlights the preventable nature of most workplace incidents and ill-health and promotes campaigns and union organisation in the fight for improvements in workplace safety.
