History & Mission

Our History

SESHA was formed in 1978. An informal meeting of nine safety and health professionals desiring to exchange safety information has grown into an annual international conference attended by over 250 professionals representing virtually all high technology disciplines. SESHA membership has grown to approximately 350 members including several countries around the world. As our horizons have broadened, we continue to focus our efforts toward an established line of environmental, health and safety communications.

SESHA is dedicated to improving environmental, safety and health performance, preventing workplace injuries and accidents, and promoting technological advances through our website resources, webinars, mini-conferences, and technical symposia and exhibitions.
