At the 2021 Safeguard Conference we encouraged you to bounce forward from a challenging year; to deliberately learn about work and to adapt, survive and thrive.
This year as we live and work in the new normal, we further explore the role health and safety plays in ensuring workers flourish and the importance of trust in creating a psychologically safe culture.
We are excited to bring the health and safety community together for two days of learning and networking at the 2022 Safeguard National Health & Safety Conference. Join us as we explore the theme Connection – Culture – Care.
Please use the Q&A function on the right to send through your questions to the MC.

Sidney is bestselling author of, most recently: Foundations of Safety Science; The Safety Anarchist; The End of Heaven; Just Culture; Safety Differently; The Field Guide to Understanding ‘Human Error’; Second Victim; Drift into Failure; Patient Safety and his latest: Compliance Capitalism.
