NOSHCON: Retrospective from the 2016 conference

Written by NOSA | Sep 26, 2016 7:00:00 AM

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.
