The conference includes the detailed unveiling of the new IOSH / PSA Safety Passport Scheme. A Safety Passport works like any other passport, say the PSA; in this case it identifies the holder as having undertaken basic health and safety awareness training and allows access to "passport controlled" workplaces. Many industries insist that workers hold a Safety Passport before they can gain access to the workplace or even obtain work.
The AGM starts at 10am, and is followed by the Conference beginning at 11am. Lunch is served at 1pm and it is envisaged that the finishing time will be around 2.30 pm.
