Partners in Prevention 2025 Regional Health & Safety Fall Conference series will take place October & November. The conference education program features speakers from across North America and provides excellent opportunities for training and networking with health and safety professionals, human resource professionals, health and safety technical specialists, health and safety managers, risk managers, emergency response personnel, and much more.

We are inviting speaker proposals in the following areas:

• Specific hazards, technical specialties and best practices (i.e. machine safety, ergonomics, occupational hygiene, warehouse and racking, etc.)
• Leadership and management
• Healthy workplaces (i.e. mental health, DEI, workplace culture etc.)
• Research in health and safety with clear practical outcomes and application

Sessions are one-hour concurrent presentations unless otherwise specified. Of critical importance is the requirement that session content must be action oriented, providing take-aways or action plans for attendees. As part of your submission, please also indicate the level of your content – that is, basic, intermediate, or advanced.

For those submitting research in health and safety abstract please note that the proposed session must highlight the transfer of research to industry practice and be able to showcase how the research can be applied to the workplace. Submissions selected will focus on the results of the research, discuss workplace implications, and provide recommendations that delegates can take back and apply to their workplace. We highly recommend that a representative from an industry organization / workplace that participated in the project act as a co-presenter.
