Occupational safety and health (OSH) is an area concerned with protecting the safety, health and welfare of people engaged in work or employment. Successful and productive companies around the world look after the safety and health of their workers and follow certain principles of good practice for the prevention of occupational accidents and diseases.

Conference had a dual aim of improving both well-being of the worker (healthy working lives) and equally of the business (healthy business).
