Celebrating 50 Years of Occupational Health & Safety Research

Join in person or online to celebrate five decades of high-quality occupational and environmental health and safety research that increases knowledge about and contributes to healthier and safer workplaces. This year, the Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health published its 50th volume. In recognition of this important milestone, they will be hosting a free seminar where leading researchers in the field will share insights on some key prevention successes and discuss the evolving challenges that continue to reshape the occupational health landscape.
