In Tunisia, the Occupational Health and Safety Institute is organizing its second ‘Safety Circle’ session on October 7, 2026. The event focuses on regulatory requirements and administrative practices, specifically aiming to help organizations integrate legal health and safety mandates into their management systems using the ISO 45001 standard.
