The principles of OSH are something I feel OSHPro Services strive to uphold. Their aim has been to share these principles with many, irrelevant of sector, or industry. Their goal is to share and spread knowledge, and to ensure that those attend their conferences fell that they are equipped with tools that can improve the conditions in their workplace. They have an array of speakers from different countries, from different backgrounds and are very knowledgeable about the fields that they work in. The common factor for the attendees and for the speakers is: OSH! What a setup. In the spirit of Ubuntu, knowledge is shared and received.
