IRIOSH Global Occupational Safety and Health Forum 2026

Psychosocial Well-being at Work: Global Insights, Local Action


The International Research Institute of Occupational Safety and Health is pleased to convene its inaugural global forum, marking a significant step in advancing occupational safety and health (OSH) research, policy, and practice. 

Held in commemoration of World OSH Day 2026 and aligned with the International Labour Organization theme “Ensuring a healthy psychosocial working environment,” the forum brings together international experts, policymakers, researchers, and practitioners to foster meaningful dialogue and bridge the gap between global evidence and local implementation.

Hosted virtually from Canada, this forum reflects IRIOSH’s commitment to facilitating inclusive, high-quality global engagement while ensuring accessibility across regions.

We warmly invite participation from:

  • Occupational safety and health professionals and practitioners 
  • Human resource and workplace well-being leaders 
  • Government regulators and policymakers 
  • Academic researchers and scholars 
  • Employer and worker representatives 
  • Mental health professionals and consultants 
  • Training providers and OSH students 

The forum will be delivered through a secure virtual platform, enabling dynamic knowledge exchange, cross-regional collaboration, and broad participation from stakeholders worldwide.
