The Work at Heights (WAH) Symposium, themed “Safer Works at Heights, Shared Responsibility,” seeks to advance industry ownership of WAH safety by fostering a culture of shared responsibilities. Moving beyond regulatory compliance, the symposium highlights the importance of collaboration, innovation, and leadership in strengthening safety outcomes at height.

It convenes industry leaders, safety professionals and subject-matter experts from various sectors to exchange insights, share best practices and explore emerging developments that can drive sustained improvements in  WAH safety standards.

Participants will gain valuable insights from inspection findings, industry best practices and latest developments and innovations about WAH safety. To enhance learning and engagement, interactive elements such as mini quizzes will be integrated throughout the programme, encouraging participants to reflect on key takeaways and consider how these can be practically applied within their own workplaces. 

The symposium reinforces the collective responsibilities of all stakeholders to protect lives and build safer workplaces across the industry. Join us and be part of this important conversation. 

Due to overwhelming response, registration is now closed. Thank you.
