November Chapter Meeting: Global Updates in Safety

Topic Five Global Trends Affecting the Occupational Safety and Health Profession

All over the world, our role in safety continues to evolve as we move away from traditional approaches, like regulatory compliance.  During this session, we will highlight five global trends that are affecting the occupational safety and health profession, now and likely into the future. These trends include Professionalism, ISO 45001, Risk and Risk Assessment, Sustainability and Prevention Through Design.  By understanding these trends and effectively communicating with our employers and clients, we demonstrate our value and improve our standing with operational and leadership partners.
