Autumn OHs Forum 2026: A Meeting Point for Expertise, Practice, and New Perspectives in Occupational Safety and Health

tehpro jesenji forum - slika sa prošlogodišnjeg foruma kao najava za forum 2026

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 in 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 crises?

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.

More Than a Professional Event

  • improve safety processes in practice, not just formally

Special focus is placed on moving from formal compliance to active safety management of buildings.

TOPICS

  • Legal framework for fire protection in residential buildings
  • Responsibilities of building managers and residential communities
  • Minimum technical requirements (hydrant network installations, portable fire
    extinguishers, fire detection and alarm systems, evacuation signage)
  • Maintenance planning and periodic inspections
  • Most common mistakes in practice and real-life examples
  • Organization of evacuation and response in case of fire
  • Documentation – mandatory records and how to maintain them
  • Inspection supervision – what is checked and how to prepare
  • Liability (misdemeanor and criminal)

METHOD

The seminar is conducted through a combination of expert lectures, analysis of real-life case studies, and interactive discussions.

19TH PROFESSIONAL CONFERENCE

People at the Center of Occupational Safety and Health Systems – from Regulatory Requirements to Real Prevention

Date: April 21, 2026 / 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Location: Mona Plaza Hotel, Cara Uroša 62–64, Belgrade

Traditionally, ahead of the Occupational Safety and Health Day, Tehpro organizes a professional conference addressing current OSH challenges.

Modern occupational safety and health systems can no longer rely solely on procedures and documentation. Real prevention begins where people become active participants in the system – through safety culture, management accountability, quality training, psychological safety, and everyday practices in the field.

At this conference, OSH will be examined from several key perspectives: human factors and behavior, employee engagement, the role of management, practical system implementation in industry, warehouses, and construction, as well as current EU trends and the connection between safety and ESG principles.

Procedures exist. Trainings have been completed. Equipment has been purchased.
So why do injuries still happen?

Thematic Sessions
The sessions cover key challenges in modern OSH, presented by experts from Tehpro and partner companies through real industry case studies:

• Employee Involvement in Building OSH Systems and Safety Culture
How active employee participation and strong management roles transform formal OSH systems into functional safety cultures with measurable results.

• Human Factor: Why People Work Unsafely and How to Change It
Analysis of employee behavior and the role of leadership in shifting from reactive to proactive safety management.

• Region and the Future: Where OSH Stands Compared to Advanced EU Countries
Strategic insights into system development through comparison with EU practices and the “people-centered” approach.

• Prevention That Works in Practice – Warehousing
How risk assessment, near-miss analysis, and management of high-risk activities become everyday tools for real prevention.

• Implementation of OSH Systems in Construction
Practical guidelines for transforming formal compliance into real risk control and accountability on construction sites.

• Psychological Safety at Work
How a culture of trust directly impacts risk reporting, reduces injuries, errors, and absenteeism, and contributes to system stability.
• Employee Training as the Foundation of a Stable OSH System
How high-quality, targeted training becomes a key mechanism for prevention and long-term system sustainability.

Format
Expert presentations, case studies, analysis of real-life situations, and interactive discussions with participants.
The focus is on practical models and exchange of experience across different industries.

Additional Information
• Participants will receive a certificate of attendance.
• The training provides concrete tools and models to improve your systems.
• The program supports continuous professional development and strengthens safety culture.

BZR PROACTIVE

Integrated Series of Workshops and Seminars

Each module delivers knowledge, the complete cycle delivers results.

Modern occupational safety and health (BZR) goes beyond administration and formalities. Today, experts and organizations are expected to actively manage risks, systematically develop a safety culture, and achieve measurable results, including meeting ESG requirements.

BZR PROACTIVE is an integrated series of four interconnected thematic modules, designed for BZR consultants and collaborators, managers, members of leadership, and anyone who holds practical responsibility for the safety of people and the legal security of the organization. The program is designed to enable participants to:
• Respond correctly in critical situations (injuries, inspections, incidents),
• Connect daily BZR activities with ESG principles,
• Systematically improve safety beyond mere legal compliance.

Each module can be attended individually, but together they form a complete and logical sequence – therefore, each subsequent module is offered at a reduced price, with the greatest value achieved by attending all four.

WEBINAR: Applying AI in the OSH System — From Documentation to Real Prevention

An increasing share of OSH work is being absorbed by administration: reports, records, analyses, training logs, audits, and compliance activities. At the same time, management expectations continue to grow — faster responses, clear corrective actions, trend insights, and measurable results are required.

This webinar demonstrates how artificial intelligence (AI) and ChatGPT can be applied in a practical, controlled, and compliant way within the OSH system — reducing administrative burden, improving documentation consistency, accelerating incident and audit processing, and strengthening safety culture through better use of data.

The focus is not on “technology for the sake of technology,” but on concrete use cases that deliver fast and tangible results: AI-assisted OSH documentation (SOP/JSA/LOTO), incident and near-miss analysis with “lessons learned,” smart checklists and automated audit reporting, as well as micro-trainings that improve understanding and on-site behavior.

A key value of the webinar is the section dedicated to the “guardrails” approach: data privacy, audit trails, human-in-the-loop verification, and practical rules that allow AI to be introduced into OSH systems without increasing risk or compromising accountability and compliance.

At the end of the webinar, participants will receive a clear roadmap: how to select the first pilot project, how to define metrics, and how to achieve the first measurable results within 30 days.

Registration link: REGISTRATION

What participants will gain
• The 5 most cost-effective AI applications in OSH (with real examples)
• Mini-demo: incident + audit findings → report + corrective actions
• Practical AI usage rules (privacy, audit trail, human-in-the-loop)
• Prompt library for SOP / JSA / incidents / audits / training
• Pilot blueprint: 30 days to first measurable results
• Q&A focused on real-world challenges
