Safety in Action show heading to Sydney

More than 5000 workplace health and safety decision-makers will gather in Sydney from 6–8 September for Safety in Action, showcasing the latest safety developments and featuring over 20 free seminars on employee safety.

The convention program will include the SIA Annual General Meeting, OHS education awards, OHS leaders’ and CEOs’ breakfast and a women in leadership forum.

Mental health and physical wellbeing will be a key focus of the free Safety in Action seminar series, which will hear from leading industry professionals discussing this year’s theme of ‘Keep your workplace safe’.
