2026 Health and Safety Caucus

March 19, 2026

Registration is now open for ONA’s annual health and safety caucuses, held in conjunction with the May Area Coordinators Conferences (ACCs). This year’s session is “Occupational Illnesses and Diseases in the Health-Care Sector.”

This Caucus is designed to provide nurses and health care providers with essential health and safety knowledge, effective risk management strategies, and actionable solutions to promote a safer work environment. The Caucus aims to strengthen the fundamental health and safety principles among our membership. By reviewing key concepts, we seek to reduce workplace incidents, enhance the overall safety culture, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.

This year’s caucus is open to all ONA members with entitlements. Most sessions are in person, and we’ve added a virtual option as per below.

For inquiries or assistance, please contact the Member Experience/Events Team at EventRegistration@ona.org.

Registration

It is important that each member wishing to attend complete their own registration – please do not register for another member.

Pre-registration for the caucus is required to ensure that sufficient refreshments, lunches and materials are available. All members are requested to register online. Note: Registration is on a first-come, first-serve basis due to limited space.

If you require Local funding to attend, please ensure you speak to your Local Coordinator for pre-approval.
