IMCA Safety Seminar

IMCA’s HSSE Committee is hosting its Safety Seminar on 6 June 2023.

Theme: Challenges & opportunities in safety: attracting and keeping the right people 

The changeable times in which we live are having a tremendous impact on our industry. Our members need to provide the highest standards of quality assurance for their operations. 

This has become increasingly challenging when there are difficulties in identifying, recruiting, training and retaining appropriately skilled and competent people to do a safe job.

The seminar will address some of the safety challenges in the post-pandemic world.
