The Zambia National Occupational Safety, Health and Environmental Quiz 2026 is a nationwide knowledge competition designed to promote occupational safety, health, environmental awareness, professional excellence, and youth participation across Zambia.
The quiz will bring together students and practicing Health, Safety and Environmental professionals to compete at national level in two categories:
Practicing HSE Professionals
Undergraduate College and University Students
The competition will begin nationwide through an online quiz platform. After the final online quiz date, the Top 5 participants in the HSE Professional category and the Top 5 participants in the Undergraduate category will be selected for the final in-person quiz round.
At the final stage, the shortlisted participants will compete for national recognition. In each category, the Winner, First Runner-Up, and Second Runner-Up will receive prizes and recognition from ASHEPA.
The full prize package will be announced by ASHEPA before the quiz competition ends.
