Empowering Commitment to Champion Safety & Wellbeing
At the Intersec Health & Safety Conference 2026, powered by the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH), we explore the latest trends, innovative solutions, and best practices that empower organizations to champion workplace safety and well-being.
Through an immersive two-day programme, the conference aims to bring together global thought leaders, innovators, and HSE professionals to bridge the gap between theory and practice. The agenda will spotlight how emerging technologies like AI are transforming risk management, highlight the rising importance of occupational health and mental wellbeing, and address critical challenges in road and construction safety.
With inspiring talks, engaging discussions, and hands-on insights, the conference brings together a passionate community of HSE professionals all working towards one goal: creating safer, healthier workplaces for everyone.
