OSH Gurukul Conference in Delhi on September 20-21 2023 at Hotel Pride Plaza, Aerocity

Delhi NCR region is a key hub of industrial activities, with each industry having a prominent stake in implementing occupational safety and health practices for wellbeing of their employees. Some of the key challenges faced by the workforce include: Working without wearing proper safety equipment, ergonomically poor office equipment, mental wellbeing challenges in an uncertain economy, fire safety issues, hazardous chemicals exposure, excessive pollution, poor road safety norms, poor environment sustainability processes, etc. This conference aims to look at the industry pain points related to occupational safety and health and will present the views of senior leader and influencers from the industry.

The industrial development in the region has led to new industries being set up which use modern and advanced machinery and processes as part of the manufacturing, construction, and services sectors. This has also led to millions of workers finding jobs in factories and sites of different scale thus exposing them to occupational hazards in the form of personal safety and health and mental wellbeing and hygiene. The COVID-19 pandemic has also brought about a completely different set of challenges which most organisations are slowly coming to terms with.

The widespread industrial activity requires specialist knowledge of occupational safety and health laws and processes, most of which are routinely implemented and followed by leading industrial corporations in India and abroad. The HSE practitioners within these organisations have a vast experience of implementing these laws and processes and have scaled many a height in overcoming safety and health challenges withing their organisations. However, it is the small and mid-size (SME) organisations that still struggle with the knowledge and implementation of OSH laws and best practices and hence are a cause of grave risk to worker safety and health within their fold.

The OSH Gurukul conference is a key summit of knowledge leaders within HSE community of Delhi NCR that will draw on the experience of HSE veterans in large Indian industries and take their experiences to the junior workforce, thereby fulfilling the ambitious goal of bridging OSH divide within industries.
