The Occupational Health and Safety Institute in Tunisia is organizing the second "Safety Circle" event for 2026 on October 7, under the theme "Regulatory Requirements and Management Practices in Occupational Health and Safety." The event aims to promote awareness of integrating legal requirements related to occupational health and safety into management systems and practices within institutions.

The "Safety Circle" targets safety and production managers, logistics professionals, occupational doctors, business owners, quality, health, safety, and environment departments, as well as auditors, consultants, and professionals involved in occupational risk prevention. The event's program includes sessions on understanding and monitoring regulatory requirements, establishing an occupational health and safety management system, and the role of management in preventing occupational risks.

The event will also cover mechanisms for monitoring and continuously improving occupational health and safety management systems, integrating ISO 45001 with other management systems, such as ISO 9001 for quality and ISO 14001 for the environment. Best practices, challenges, and field experiences related to integrating management systems will be discussed to support institutions in developing more effective approaches to occupational risk prevention and legal compliance.

The Occupational Health and Safety Institute invites professionals and stakeholders to participate in this event, which supports preventive practices and the development of occupational health and safety management systems within institutions. This initiative aligns with efforts to enhance occupational health and safety standards across various sectors in Tunisia.
