SIA National Safety Convention 2016

Details

The annual SIA National Safety Convention brings together a broad range of stakeholders in the health and safety profession – including regulators, safety professionals and practitioners, business leaders and unions – to review existing approaches to workplace safety and leadership, and put innovative new ideas on the drawing board.

This year’s program features some of the best national and international speakers, exploring the theme of Disruptive Safety.


Sometimes, perspective is everything. In the context of the 2016 National Safety Convention, the theme ‘Disruptive Safety’ means different things:

Disruptive change

As we work to alter company culture to move health and safety from being seen as a cost to an opportunity, is it just about incremental change, turning the ship a little bit at a time, or can other approaches work? We say there may be other approaches and we should talk about them. Just as ‘disruptive technology’ can turn businesses or even whole industries on their heads and demand news ways of doing and thinking, are there opportunities for positively disrupting the status quo in workplace health and safety at company or systemic level?

The disruptive environment

The world is full of disruption. Change is the constant. The forces which move through businesses are significant. How is workplace health and safety affected? How can health and safety officers, managers, senior managers and executives work together to weather rapid changes taking place in their businesses, and get ahead of the curve?

Working in challenging fields

In fields where the stakes are high health and safety, how are people tackling the issues and what – if anything – can be learnt from these approaches and translated across the board?


The annual convention is a two-day conference program book-ended by a series of events, including the OHS Education Awards, the annual Eric Wigglesworth Memorial Lecture, conference dinner, SIA Annual General Meeting, an OHS leaders & CEO’s Breakfast, as well as a Women in Leadership Forum.
