At a time when work environments are rapidly evolving, and occupational safety and health challenges are becoming increasingly complex, organisations can no longer view OSH solely through the lens of regulatory compliance. Modern systems require resilience, adaptability, leadership, and the ability to make decisions in unpredictable circumstances.
For this reason, the traditional Autumn OHS Forum 2026, organised by the TEHPRO Training and Education Centre, will take place from October 12–14, 2026, at the Grand Hotel & Spa on Kopaonik Mountain.
This three-day professional gathering will bring together professionals, experts, and decision-makers from the field of occupational safety and health.
The Forum is designed as a space for open dialogue, exchange of experience, and practical solutions – a place where safety is viewed not as an administrative obligation, but as an essential component of business strategy, organisational culture, and sustainable development.
“OHS 2026–2030: From Compliance to Resilient and Intelligent Safety Systems”
Throughout the three-day program, participants will have the opportunity to explore the future of modern OHS systems and the changes already shaping practices in Serbia and the region through lectures, panel discussions, interactive workshops, and case studies.
The central activity of this year’s program will be the panel discussion:
“Where Is OHS Today in Serbia and the Region – and Where Do We Want to Be by 2030?”
The panel will bring together renowned experts with extensive experience in occupational safety and health, industry, regulation, and risk management.
Through an open and expert-led dialogue, panel participants will analyse the current state of OHS systems in Serbia and the region, identify the key challenges companies and professionals face today, and discuss practical recommendations for developing a more modern, efficient, and proactive approach to workplace safety by 2030.
Special attention will be given to the role of emerging technologies, digitalisation, data analytics, and process automation in improving OHS systems, as well as the importance of the human factor, organisational culture, and continuous employee education.
The goal of the discussion is to demonstrate how the integration of technology, data, and human responsibility can contribute to creating more sustainable, safer, and more resilient work environments aligned with modern industry standards and future market demands.
Modern Challenges Require New Approaches to OHS Systems
Changes in work organisation, accelerated digitalisation, growing sustainability requirements, and the increasing need to preserve employees’ mental health are raising entirely new questions for OSH professionals.
How can organisations develop systems that are not only compliant with regulations, but also capable of responding effectively to crisis situations?
How can technology, data, and the human factor be integrated into one functional system?
How can a culture of safety become an integral part of organisational decision-making?
The Autumn OHS Forum 2026 creates space for addressing these questions while also offering practical answers through the experiences of experts from various industries.
A Program Connecting Practice, Experience, and Future Development
This year’s Forum delivers content focused on the real-world challenges companies and OHS professionals face every day.
Day One: People, Culture, and the Foundations of Sustainable OHS Systems
The first day will focus on topics connecting human behaviour, organisational culture, communication, training, and employee mental health with the long-term sustainability of safety systems.
Particular emphasis will be placed on developing a strong safety culture and the importance of leadership in creating work environments where safety becomes part of everyday decision-making.
Day Two: Intelligent Systems, Leadership, and the Future of OHS
The second day will focus on modern approaches to risk management, prevention, digitalisation, and the implementation of innovative solutions in occupational safety and health.
Participants will have the opportunity to exchange perspectives on the future direction of OHS systems, as well as the role of leadership and sustainability in modern organisations.
Day Three: Practical Challenges and Decision-Making in Complex Environments
The third day of the Forum will focus on practical organisational challenges and safety management in complex work environments.
Through expert workshops, simulations, and practical scenarios, participants will analyse modern approaches to change management, contractor management, critical controls, and crisis response.
