Every year, the National Safety Council (NSC) hosts its annual Safety Congress & Expo. As the largest annual gathering of safety professionals, the event usually offers a promising lineup of conference highlights. And attendees at this year’s event—which takes place in Orlando, Florida, from September 16-18—look to be in for a treat.

Traditionally, a key highlight of the NSC Safety Congress & Expo is the exclusive reveal of OSHA's annual Top 10 Safety Violations, which provides critical insights into the most common and pressing safety concerns facing workplaces today. But the 2024 edition of the NSC’s signature event also features several other can’t-miss conference highlights.

A standout attraction at the event will be the 10th annual New Product Showcase, where attendees can explore cutting-edge safety products and solutions. Additionally, the First Look Exhibitor Pavilion introduces innovations from companies making their debut at the Congress & Expo, giving participants a look at the latest advancements.

The event will also place a strong emphasis on the role of mental health in workplace safety. With more educational sessions dedicated to psychological risks than in previous years, the expo aims to help safety professionals gain a deeper understanding of this critical area. And the redesigned Wellness Lounge offers a space for mindful reflection.

Networking remains a major component of the event, with the introduction of the Safety Huddle area. This new space will facilitate direct discussions with industry leaders, while tailored networking sessions and on-site meetings organized by NSC Divisions cater to categories such as construction, young professionals and women in safety.
