This year, the team at Safety &
Health Expo have conducted a
series of focus groups and
research around the event to ensure the
creation of a relevant and forward
thinking show that caters to the evolving
needs of the safety and health
professional in 2013.
Using the research and industry insight to
shape the event, Safety and Health Expo
2013 will not only provide a complete
industry update for those working within
the sector but will offer practical solutions
for enhancing safety and health cultures
and employee health and wellbeing in any
organisation.
Safety and Health Expo is the only UK
health and safety show to have the
support of all three primary health and
safety associations: Institution of
Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH),
The Royal Society for the Prevention of
Accidents (RoSPA) and The British Safety
Industry Federation (BSIF).
Organisers of the event are expecting
more than 250 exhibitors to the show this
year, with everything from fire safety
management, business driver safety to
environmental control, PPE and lone
working covered. New exhibitors this year
include Fleet21, Concateno, Juice
Learning, HB Protective Clothing, Rocky
Brands and Superior Glove Works
alongside returning favourites Draeger
Safety, Portwest Clothing, Scott Safety and
ATG Gloves, amongst many others.
Safety & Health Expo provides
opportunities to discover the latest
products and services for the industry,
whilst offering visitors the chance to take
part in informative and interactive
educational sessions. With seven
dedicated theatres, zones and spaces for
education, live demonstrations,
interaction and networking, Safety and
Health Expo 2013 provides plenty of
opportunities for visitors to engage with
the leading professionals and innovators
within the sector.
Popular features returning in 2013
include the SHP Legal Arena, the Access
Industry Forum's (AIF) Knowledge Base -
Working at Height, the Health &
Wellbeing Theatre, the Arco Academy
and the IOSH Stand Theatre and
Networks Arena. Last year the SHP Legal
Arena attracted more than 1,300 delegates
who heard from some of the most
respected lawyers in the country,
including Kevin Bridges from Pinsent
Masons, Jon Cooper from Bond Pearce,
Peter Forshaw of Weightmans, and Ron
Reid from Shoosmiths. They, and many
other leading solicitors, will be presenting
again on significant health and safety
cases and topics, offering advice on how
to avoid costly workplace incidents and
prosecutions.
Returning for its ninth year, the Access
Industry Forum's (AIF) Knowledge Base -
Working at Height will bring together the
principal trade associations and
federations involved in work at height in
an ambitious programme covering all the
hot topics affecting this sector.
The Health & Wellbeing Theatre will
address issues around boosting
productivity within the workplace
through a variety of initiatives, including
stress management, ergonomics,
behavioural safety, equality and diversity.
Sessions will cover employer obligations,
how to promote health and wellbeing
throughout the workplace and the impact
this has on the bottom line. Visitors to the
Arco Academy will be encouraged to take
part in live demonstrations and
discussions that will centre on education
through innovation, and the growing role
behavioural safety is playing in
transforming safety cultures across the
globe.
Open to both members and nonmembers,
the IOSH Networks Arena
allows visitors to meet with other health
and safety professionals at a series of
exclusive events running across the three
days. Highlights will include Tim
Roberts, head of health and safety for
Glastonbury Festival, on maintaining
safety at major public events; and Steve
Skarratt, the curriculum and
qualifications manager for the Fire
Protection Association, will present 'Fire
Risk Assessors -What Does Competent
Look Like?', amongst others.
New for 2013, the Business Driver
Safety Zone will launch in partnership
with Fleet21 and Honda UK. The
Business Driver Safety Zone will showcase
best practice in all areas of business driver
safety using lively, interactive
presentations and discussions that address
knowledge gaps identified by health and
safety professionals nationwide.
Finally, the Barbour Directors Club
will offer an unmissable opportunity for
networking with top tier management
working within health and safety, whilst
also providing essential, commercially
driven debates on the issues faced by
leaders across the globe.
This flagship trade event runs
alongside Facilities Show, IFSEC

part of the Protection and Management
Series which are all free to attend for
registered visitors.
