A Forum That Starts Not With the Stage, But With the Person

In October, we will meet again at the country's largest professional occupational safety platform – "Resilience Forum: Occupational Safety in Ukraine – 2026". But this year, we want to offer much more than just another conference.

The world is changing faster than ever. War, a shortage of qualified personnel, new technologies, artificial intelligence, the return of veterans to professional life, psychosocial risks, and new EU legislative requirements – all of this is changing the very understanding of occupational safety.

We are increasingly talking about injury prevention, but at the same time – about the security of human capital: preserving health, professional competencies, psychological resilience, and a person's ability to develop and work in the modern world2. That is why the main theme of the Forum will be the person – their knowledge, experience, potential, and role in creating safe production.

We want the Forum to become a place where people not only listen to reports but also discuss, debate, find partners, and give birth to new ideas and professional projects. Representatives of the state, business, science, international experts, employers, trade unions, manufacturers of modern technologies, and, most importantly, practitioners who are responsible for people's safety every day will meet here.

This year, we want to hear your voice as well – the voice of the Forum participants: specialists, experts, teachers, and scientists who are passionate about their work3. After all, every enterprise and every OSH engineer has their own experience, solutions, success stories, and lessons, which can become the most valuable cases for our professional community.

If you have a practice worth sharing, innovative solutions, or your own approaches to risk assessment, working with veterans, developing a safety culture, or using digital technologies, we invite you not just to be a participant, but to become a speaker, a source of experience, and a driver of progressive changes.

This Forum will become a starting point for the unification and growth of the professional community4. It will be a space where new mentors, leaders, partnerships, and projects emerge, because the development of occupational safety begins with people who are ready to learn, teach others, and take responsibility for change.

I invite you to join this conversation and come with your ideas. Together, we are creating the future of occupational safety in Ukraine.
