Offering unrivalled learning opportunities for safety managers

With the ever changing landscape of health and safety regulation and legislation, it is vital for safety professionals to remain up to date on all industry developments and best practice. The combination of a broad spectrum of exhibitors and interactive educational features, ensure that the Safety and Health Expo offers all visitors a wealth of useful information. The event is hosted in partnership with the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), the British Safety Industry Federation (BSIF) and the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) and is the only show of its kind with the support of these main industry bodies.

Amongst the 300 industry-renowned exhibitors, some of the world’s leading names will be showcasing their latest developments and products. These include BM Polyco, Draeger, Latchways, MSA, Arco, Cirrus, Posturite, Scott Health & Safety and Sperian. With this range of exhibitors, there is certainly something for every type of industry practitioner.
This year’s educational content is the broadest and most comprehensive to date, offering practical advice and analysis from some of the industry’s most respected professionals. The SHP Legal Arena, sponsored by The HSE Recruitment Network, will offer analysis and advice on some of the key legal developments of the year, covering a range of the biggest cases in health and safety and related sectors.

A brand new feature for 2011 is the Occupational Health Theatre, sponsored by Posturite, which will focus on health in the work place, assessing topics such as stress management, ergonomics, behavioural safety, equality and diversity. This thorough selection of occupational health issues will provide safety management decision makers with the information they need in order to maintain a happy, healthy and efficient work force.
The Working at Height Knowledge Base, hosted by the Access Industry Forum (AIF) will return in 2011 after a successful launch in 2010. Featuring panel discussions, debates and demonstrations, the purpose built area will address the hot topics in access and working at height. Fresh insights and perspectives will be provided by guest contributors.

One of the most exciting presentations of this series is set to be Explosive Substances Live presented by DENIOS. Safety managers will be aware that there are many serious risks associated with handling even the smallest quantities of flammable materials. DENIOS will use graphic demonstrations to present a thoroughly entertaining experimental lecture highlighting the risks and consequences which can arise when handling these flammable materials incorrectly.

At the Product and Innovation Hub visitors will have the opportunity to explore and interact with cutting edge products and technologies during keynote presentations from a variety of industry experts. Speakers include representatives from HSE, RoSPA, IOSH, HSL and hub sponsors, Arco.
