Hazards Conference 2024

The 35th National Hazards Conference

The 35th National Hazards Conference
Keele University

30 August – 1 September 2024

The climate crisis and workers’ health – a deadly combination
The Hazards Conference is one of the biggest grassroots conferences for trade union safety reps and activists, with plenary sessions, and a comprehensive workshop programme.  It is an opportunity to exchange experience and information with and learn from safety reps from other unions, sectors and jobs across the UK.  It’ s a good craic too!
This years conference will include sessions on:
  • HASAWA @50 – What is the future?
  • Climate and workers’ health and safety – the challenges of extreme weather events and the impact of work activity on the climate
  • Making the case for mentally healthy work – workers are being exposed to increasing workloads, health impacting work related stress, violence and bullying and we need to resist not be more resilient
  • Bad work injures and kills – collective pressure and safety reps save lives – but the majority of workers are not in trade union organised workplaces, how are we fighting for these workers?
And again this year, we will be awarding certificates to great health and safety campaigns and calling out the bad employers on health and safety.
