The UNISON National Health and Safety Committee has agreed the date, venue, and theme for the 2026 biennial UNISON National Health and Safety Seminar.
This year’s seminar focuses on empowering health and safety representatives to become confident leaders in their workplaces and within UNISON. Health and safety is at the heart of protecting workers and through this seminar, we aim to give new and existing reps the tools, knowledge, and confidence to influence positive change and lead on health and safety issues.
If you are a health and safety representative, or currently enrolled in Health and Safety representative training, and are keen to become more involved in UNISON’s work around these crucial issues and meet other reps just like you, please consider registering for this seminar.
