The Intersec Health & Safety Conference 2026, powered by the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH), brought the global OSH community together in January for two impactful days of insight-sharing, learning, and dialogue.
The conference explored emerging technologies such as AI in risk management, the growing focus on occupational health and mental wellbeing, and critical challenges across road and construction safety—successfully bridging theory with real-world application.
As we look ahead to the 2027 edition, we are now curating a purposeful, high-quality programme that reflects the evolving priorities of workplace safety and well-being. We invite thought leaders, practitioners, and innovators to contribute their expertise and help shape the conversations that will define the future of safer, healthier workplaces.
