23rd World Congress on Safety and Health at Work

SHAPING CHANGE -  Collaborating for a healthier and safer world of work.

The 23rd World Congress theme reflects how the world is changing and so is the world of work. Much of that change has been exacerbated or created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Across the globe, workers, employers and governments are rapidly adapting to those changes. These individuals and groups are coming together to collaborate and introduce new practices, processes and innovative ways of thinking to prevent harm. With the world more connected than ever, opportunities for collective and collaborative approaches to creating safer work for all continue to arise. By joining us at the World Congress, you’ll experience firsthand how unified efforts contribute to positive outcomes that safeguard worker health and wellbeing.
