Kia Ora and welcome to the Safety 2012 World Conference website

This conference will bring together the world’s leading injury prevention and safety researchers, practitioners, policy makers and advocates to debate discuss and share information and expertise.

This is your chance to learn from the best, develop new skills, experience valuable training opportunities and take back some great initiatives to use in your own community.  

Come and be part of this experience - it will be well worth the trip!

This year’s conference will be hosted in New Zealand’s capital city Wellington.  Known as “the coolest little capital in the world”, it’s the perfect place to base yourself during the conference.
