CIEH Health and Safety Conference

About this conference

Join leading specialists, regulators and experienced practitioners for a practical, up-to-date look at the key health and safety issues shaping the work of Environmental Health and local authority teams today.

This CIEH Health and Safety Conference will explore major legislative developments, emerging risks and evolving enforcement expectations, and what they mean in practice for inspection, investigation, partnership working and local action.

From updates on Martyn’s Law – The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, to work-related stress as a growing occupational health crisis, asbestos control, event safety, and safeguarding concerns linked to rough sleepers seeking shelter in bins, the day will focus on real-world challenges and practical solutions for Environmental Health Officers (EHOs) and their teams.

Delegates will hear directly from regulators, industry bodies and local authorities, sharing guidance, consultation responses, case studies and examples of best practice from across the sector.
