What’s this webinar about?
The third chase-the-sun OH&S webinar on Day One in this series will be a wide-ranging discussion on the accessibility and inclusivity of OH&S standards. The development process seeks to be as transparent as possible, so in this session the people who write the international OH&S standards are asking you: Are they protecting everyone and are there ways to make them more inclusive? Does the ISO 45000 family of standards currently work for non-traditional business models? Do the standards give enough direction to ensure the needs of all types of workers are taken into account? Is the language right for all types of users?
Who should attend the How do OH&S Standards Need to Evolve webinar?
- All businesses and organizations irrespective of region, size or sector
What will participants gain?
- Insights into how OH&S standards are developed
- Developing an OH&S management system that genuinely works for everyone
- Thoughts on how accessibility, inclusiveness, reach and impact can be extended
- The chance to put questions in advance and get involved in standards’ development
- The opportunity to be part of the discussion and help shape the future of OH&S management standards
- A post-event copy of all presentations and a recording of the webinar
This event contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goal 3 on ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all at all ages.
