Introducing the Manifesto for Global Industrial Safety: A Call to Action (By application only)

04 Jun 2025
Institute for Manufacturing Masterclasses

This session will explore the Global Initiative for Industrial Safety (GIFIS) Manifesto, a bold framework for enhancing industrial safety worldwide. With 2.3 million work-related deaths annually (ILO), the manifesto calls for urgent, coordinated action from industries, governments, and civil society to tackle emerging risks. It promotes resilient safety cultures, standardised global protocols, and innovative, data-driven approaches to crisis management and risk prevention.

Key discussion points include:
• How industries can adopt the manifesto’s principles to improve safety and resilience
• The most pressing safety risks in manufacturing, energy, and construction
• The role of technology in shaping the future of industrial safety
• How harmonising global safety standards can benefit industries across regions

Join us to explore how this initiative can drive a safer, more resilient industrial future.
