Theme: QUO VADIS: The future of the Emergency Management Services in Africa – Innovations and Solutions

Due to its long history in occupational health and safety encompassing fire safety, the Safety First Association is organising a conference for this all-important industry. The aim is that in our modernising and changing world, knowledge and experience can be shared among employees from EM departments in both industry and municipality.

The conference will be held from 23-24 July 2024 in Dräger’s auditorium Sandton, Johannesburg. It will be followed on 25^th July by Dräger’s fire fighter challenge.

Our aim is for delegates to leave with a wider knowledge, understanding and improved capabilities. The conference will also offer an opportunity for product demonstrations and networking.

The conference will cover a wide range of subjects related to the emergency services such as:

• Fire fighting techniques in new building structures
