2nd Edition of OSH India 2020 Virtual Expo Held on 17-18 September
The 2nd edition of OSH India Virtual expo brought together renowned brands, consultants, business experts and key Government officials pertaining to the occupational health and safety under a common virtual platform. The virtual inauguration was marked by the presence of Guest of Honour: Dr. C. Lakshmi Prasad, Additional Director of Fire Services, Telangana; Keynote speaker: Dr. S. K. Raut, National President, Indian Association for Occupational Health; Special Guest: Mr. Hemant Sapra, President, Safety Appliances Manufacturers Association; Mr. Yogesh Mudras, Managing Director, Informa Markets in India and Mr. Pankaj Jain, Group Director – Security & Safety Portfolio, Informa Markets in India.
Being a key stakeholder of the Occupational Safety & Health Industry, it’s pertinent for you to note that each year 2.78 million workers die from occupational accidents and work-related diseases (of which 2.4 million are disease-related) and an additional 374 million workers suffer from non-fatal occupational accidents. Aside from the economic cost, there is an intangible cost, not fully recognized in these figures, of the immea¬surable human suffering caused by poor occupational safety and health (OSH) conditions. These numbers are from the last year’s annual ILO report on workers’ safety. Add COVID-19 pandemic and we are already headed for turbulent times. The objective of this Virtual Expo was to dwell on all these challenges to HSE and more.
