Effective environmental management reduces exposure to pollutants, hazardous materials, and unsafe conditions, creating cleaner, safer, and more sustainable workplaces. By controlling waste, emissions, and resource use, organisations not only protect ecosystems but also prevent health hazards such as respiratory problems, chemical exposure, and accidents.

Learn how environmental stewardship strengthens occupational health and safety systems, fostering a culture of responsibility and long-term well-being.  This event will include two inspiring case studies on the synergies between health and safety and good environmental practice. Environmental permitting plays a key role in regulating how businesses and industries interact with the environment, protect workers, the public, and the natural environment, and the event will include updates from Defra on latest environmental permitting changes.
