On Monday, June 16th, a series of Professional Development Courses will be offered to attendees. These courses are designed to provide in-depth knowledge and specialized skills in key areas of workplace health.

While abstract submissions for talks, workshops, and themed sessions have now closed, OH2025 is still accepting submissions for Ignite Presentations and Poster Presentations. The deadline for these submissions is Friday, April 18th, 2025.

Poster Presentations offer an exciting opportunity for researchers to showcase their findings in a visually engaging format, combining brief narrative, graphs, tables, and images to create an effective and accessible display of research.

Ignite Sessions are a fast-paced format where speakers must present a topic in 5 minutes, with 20 slides advancing every 15 seconds. It’s an exciting challenge that encourages presenters to communicate their key message concisely and powerfully. Presenters must be available to attend in person during the conference.

Several leading organizations have already signed on as exhibitors for OH2025, including: Shawcity, Casella Solutions, the Institute of Occupational Medicine, Vent-Tech, SKC, Marchwood, Gully Howard Technical, Draeger, Envirocare, i2 Analytical, Trolex and ISS EHS.

These exhibitors will showcase the latest products, services, and innovations in the field of workplace health protection and occupational hygiene.

Conference themes

OH2025 will focus on pressing questions in the field, with several key themes shaping the agenda:

• Building competence, capacity, and capability in managing workplace health risks.
• Delivering the green revolution and managing climate change without workplace health casualties.
• Exploring the impact of artificial intelligence and technological innovations on health risk management in the workplace.

• Understanding the links between physical health risk management and mental health challenges, such as stress and illness.
