SafetyFOCUS 2026, the American Society of Safety Professionals’ (ASSP) immersive virtual learning event takes place Feb. 9–13, 2026. SafetyFOCUS delivers an unparalleled opportunity for environmental, health and safety (EHS) professionals to expand their knowledge, strengthen leadership skills and enhance worker safety, health and well-being across all industries. Expert instructors use real-life examples, case studies and proven strategies to address today’s most pressing safety and health challenges.
Unlike traditional conferences, SafetyFOCUS features small class sizes that encourage collaboration and deep learning. Attendees can choose from one-, two- and three-day courses focused on business and leadership skills, certification preparation, fall protection, risk assessment and management, and safety management systems. Many courses address voluntary national consensus standards that reflect best practices in the profession.
New in 2026
ASSP has partnered with Gravitec Systems, Inc. to develop updated fall protection courses that address evolving safety challenges. These sessions will provide attendees with best practices, emerging technologies, and regulatory insights to help prevent workplace falls.
SafetyFOCUS 2026 will also feature a “Stand Up for Standards” webinar, giving attendees a unique opportunity to engage with industry experts, deepen their understanding of critical safety standards, and gain practical guidance for effectively implementing those standards across their organizations.
Participants earn continuing education units (CEUs) to maintain their professional certifications while gaining practical insights they can immediately apply in their workplaces. The flexible schedule allows professionals to build a personalized learning path, whether they are new to safety or seasoned practitioners. Attendees will also expand their professional networks and take away actionable knowledge to help their organizations prevent injuries, illnesses and fatalities.
