Visions Conference 2008

This year, in order to offer our delegates a wider range of speakers, the Organising Committee is seeking an early call for papers / presentations from interested persons. The early announcement offers all potential speakers a greater timeframe in which to prepare their paper and presentation.

The Committee hopes this action will attract a greater number of people wishing to present, therefore offering our delegates a wider and more attractive conference program.

The Committee is keen to incorporate a strong practical focus in this year’s programme and is seeking workshops that adopt a practical approach to implementing a range of occupational health and safety solutions in the workplace.

Programme Format

Presentations will be limited to 40 minutes, plus 5 minutes for questions. Workshops will be limited to 60 minutes, inclusive of question time.
