The 37th National Hazards Conference 4-6 Sept. 2026
Following on from the success of last year’s National Hazards Conference, the 37th annual conference* will be another informative event that safety reps and activists should not miss.

As in previous years, sponsorship and support is vital to run this event and helps to reduce the overall cost for attendees. If your union or organisation would like to sponsor the 2026 Hazards conference please complete the sponsorship form here and email or post back to us. Thank you!
