I Belong Here: Inclusion as a Safety Imperative

29 Sept 2026
Building Safety & Occupational Safety Stage
Building Safety & Occupation Safety Stage

A truly safe workplace is one where everyone feels respected, valued and able to speak up. This session will explore the critical role that diversity, equity and inclusion play in creating stronger safety cultures. The panel will bring together practitioners and leaders to discuss how organisations can remove barriers, address behaviours, build and foster psychological safety and ensure every individual feels they belong. The conversation will highlight why inclusion is not just a people issue, but a safety imperative.
