South Australian 2021 Safety Symposium

The Australian Institute of Health & Safety invites you to join us for the 2021 Annual South Australian AIHS Branch Symposium which will be held on Friday 22 October 2021 located at the Adelaide Zoo. 

The Symposium will commence at 11:30 and will run until 17:00. A light lunch will be served on arrival. 

A separate annual Branch dinner event will be held after SALUS 2021 preceded by drinks amidst the animals for which all attendees at the Symposium are warmly invited to book in at a discounted rate.

The focus of the SA Learning and Update Symposium for 2021 (SALUS21) will move beyond the COVID pandemic to consider major ongoing WHS lessons and priorities. This is well reflected in our two keynote speakers with SA's Chief Health Officer, Professor Nicola Spurrier discussing pandemic risk more generally through planning and use of both infection and WHS controls, and Business SA's CEO, Martin Haese, outlining what small and medium enterprises need from WHS professionals. 

Our WHS regulator, Safework SA Executive Director, Martyn Campbell, who also chairs the national regulator's group, will outline lessons from the respect at work report and on bullying and, with Jason Mavrikis, demonstrate a psychological risk tool that is very helpful. As always, we will have an update on key legal WHS cases relevant to professional members from Luke Holland and Daria McLauchlan that can help keep members and their employers and clients out of jail.

Feedback from last year sought a session on the construction industry and the focus for doing this will be what can be learned from human factors and ergonomics presented by Heidi Turbill and Dr Valerie O'Keefe and cover both practice and theory. All safety professionals and leaders need to use learning to improve performance and the dynamic Andrew Barrett will lead a session with attendees to outline what this could mean in practice.

We have invited the four locally-based universities with health and safety graduate students to present brief summaries of their research to keep attendees up to date with a range of current topics and to seek follow-up if they wish - the topics will be added to the program as we have them. SALUS21 will provide a packed program and an exciting opportunity to network with local WHS members and professionals.

Those who can, are also warmly invited to book into the drinks and dinner event that follows.  Kym Bills, SA Branch Chair."
