There’s less than two months to wait until the IOSH 07 Conference and Exhibition at the Telford International Centre.
‘Health and safety: the changing world of work’ is the theme for this year’s conference, which features over 50 speakers, seven different parallel session subject areas, a 100 stand exhibition, two spotlight theatres and an anticipated 1000 delegates.
Speakers at the conference come from a vast array of industries and bring with them a range of experience, both in business and health and safety. Increasingly, the conference is attracting speakers from across the world to give a truly global perspective.
