National Safety Symposium 2010
Overview
This year's National Safety Symposium is taking
place on 05-07 September 2010 at the Nottingham Belfry
hotel.
NSS 2010 will address managing occupational road risk on Monday
06 September and will provide useful and informative best practice
and legal updates on Tuesday 07 September. The event will start on
Sunday 05 September with practical workshops, followed by a
networking dinner.
All full-conference pass delegates are invited to attend the
gala dinner on the monday evening, where we'll be presenting an
award in recognition of an outstanding contribution to health and
safety in the public sector. The evening includes a drinks
reception, a three-course dinner and interactive entertainment.
Who should attend?
Now in its 35th year, the symposium remains the event
for health and saftey professionals in the public sector.
While the event is traditionally associated with local
authorities and public service bodies, it's aimed at anyone with
responsibility for managing or organising health and safety in the
workplace, especially those from the public, healthcare, education
and environmental and waste management sectors.
