From obstacle to opportunity

In today’s fast-changing world of work, sustainability in OSH goes beyond compliance – it’s about creating resilient, forward-thinking practices that protect people, business and the planet.

This is the second session of our three-part webinar series ‘Sustainability in action’. Author Ahmed Elidrisy, HSE, ESG and Sustainability Manager at Qatar Free Zones Authority, will be in conversation with Kelly Nicoll, IOSH President. They’ll explore the complex global realities of sustainability in OSH, from extreme climates and inconsistent regulations to multicultural workforces and shifting perceptions of risk.

From the searing 50°C heat of the Middle East to the boardrooms of international safety leadership, this session looks at several issues of concern.

• How the absence of consistent sustainability laws can hinder real progress.
• The rising threat of climate-driven heatwaves, and the urgent need for clearer strategies to protect workers.
• How multicultural teams perceive and respond to OSH differently, and how we can bridge those gaps.
• Critically, how we shift the mindset that sees OSH as a blocker, repositioning it instead as a driver of smart, sustainable business practice.

Join us for rich insights, real-world examples and a truly global perspective as we strive to build safer, smarter workplaces equipped for the challenges of tomorrow.

This webinar follows the first in the series on 1 May and precedes the final one on 3 July. See Related events below.
