Once again, we are happy to announce another successful week at NOSHCON. From the variety of presentations by leading industry experts, to the range of entertainment on offer night after night, guests were never left uninspired or unattended. For those of you who were unable to attend, here’s a taste of what delegates experienced…
The #NOSHCON2016 chalkboard selfie competition
Guests had a chance to win a SAMTRAC International E-Learning course. All they had to do was add their motivational safety message to the chalkboards available, snap a selfie and post this to social media with the #NOSHCON2016 hashtag. Victor Masingita Makhubele was our winner, with his message ‘Make safety your priority’. Here are a few of our entrants, and their powerful safety messages and photos.
WINNER: Victor Masingita Makhubele
Mancoba Zwane: ‘Safety NOW’
Bridgette Schrauwen: ‘Safety never takes a break’
Thabisile Dhlamini: ‘I am safe by choice – are you?’
Natalie Fisher McManus: ‘Attitude is everything’
Viral Dholakia: ‘Blood group SHE +ve’
Thulile Sista Yengwa: ‘Safety is everybody’s responsibility’
NOSCARS 2016
