Covid-19 webinars
IOSH have launched a series of webinars for occupational safety and health professionals on the Covid-19 situation.
Upcoming webinar
Managing the risks of workplace carcinogens: what your organisation needs to do now
Thursday 29 October, 12.30 (GMT) / 13.30 (CET)
As organisations manage the risks associated with Covid-19, it's of course vital that we don’t lose sight of other threats to the health and safety of people at work, including carcinogens.
As IOSH’s award-winning, global campaign No Time to Lose (NTTL) approaches its sixth anniversary on 3 November, we bring together a panel of experts, campaigners and those affected by workplace cancer to discuss why the management of the risks of workplace carcinogens is so important – and how we can do it effectively.
IOSH Council member and NTTL ambassador Keith Hole will chair a panel discussion including Kevin Bampton, chief executive of BOHS, the Chartered society for worker health protection, who will discuss the impact of his organisation’s campaign, Breathe Freely.
