The document is an invitation and agenda for the 2nd WASHEQ Conference on workplace health and safety to be held in Accra, Ghana from August 31st to September 1st, 2012. The conference aims to bring together experts to share best practices on successfully managing key health and safety issues through presentations and case studies. Attendees will learn techniques to apply in their own work environments. Speakers will cover topics like benchmarking incident rates, regulatory models from the UK, case studies on Ghanaian law, roles of training programs, effective safety management systems, and more.

2. It is with great pleasure that we invite you to
participate in the 2nd WASHEQ Conference to be
held in Accra, Ghana at the La Palm, Royal Beach
Hotel, Homowo Conference Centre on the 31st of
August 2012.
Achieving excellence in workplace health and safety is something that we all should
aspire too, both from a moral and economic perspective, but turning the theory
into practice is not always easy.
The aim of the conference is to do just that by bringing together an experienced
and knowledgeable panel of speakers who will demonstrate through presentations
and case studies how to successfully deal with a number of key issues. You will
then be in a position to consider how you might apply the right risk management
techniques to your own environment.
Our exhibitors do not sell anything at the conference, they give away to all attendees
the knowledge of how their products and services will help you meet current
standards and protect your workers.
I hope you will be able to join us at the
conference in the assurance that it will assist Ella Tieku
you in dealing with SHEQ management Executive Director
within your organization. I look forward to SHEQ FOUNDATION
welcoming you on the day.
