The GLS offers event attendees an opportunity to actively participate, network, and learn in a capacity that is convenient, affordable, and readily attainable.
“We are thrilled to be working with VPPPA to connect leading safety management systems experts with our Global Learning Summit attendees. The VPP and Management Systems track is an excellent opportunity to learn from our global safety leaders about what it takes to not only meet safety standards, but go above and beyond to keep every worker safe, everywhere,” said BCSP Chief Strategy Officer J.A. Rodriguez Jr, CSP, ASP. “The $25 US registration for 100+ hours of premium content is our way of partnering with VPPPA to bring affordable professional development to the world’s workforces.”
Attendees can access a full track focusing on the Voluntary Protection Program and Safety Management Systems, with several speakers from OSHA as well as safety leaders from VPP Star sites.
