SHOW REVIEW
particularly the session on Safety Systems in Procurement (SSIP) led by John Kinge. All in all, it was a very worthwhile and enjoyable day and I came away feeling inspired by the range of products and services on display and the seminars and workshops available on a wide range of topics.”
“I WAS IMPRESSED BY THE DEPTH AND BREADTH OF THE PRODUCTS AND
SERVICES EXHIBITED
AND THE CALIBRE OF THE SPEAKERS.”
Neal Stone, Acting Chief Executive, British Safety Council
One of the exhibitors at the NEC event was Safety Apps Ltd. Director James Boatwright commented on their success at the event: “Absolutely fantastic event for us. We’ve not attended before but targeted this one for the launch of our new app and have been completely overwhelmed by the response. It has been non-stop for us; the audience has been spot on. It’s been so busy in fact that we haven’t been able to get off the stand to get a coffee! Great show, great location – we will be back.”

Additionally, exhibitor Sherie Hurlin, marketing and PR specialist at Evac + Chair International, added: “We have really enjoyed the Health & Safety Event with our breakfast seminars running daily and our double decker bus enabling us to interact with clients right across our product range. This year we are introducing new products and our goal is to demonstrate to visitors how our range of products can make workplaces and public places safer. It’s a great venue and we really enjoy it.”
This year’s conference programme provided visitors with a choice of four venues: The Conference Seminar, The Safety Dialogue and Safer Logistics Theatres, as well as the option to attend pre-show Breakfast Briefings.
Kären Clayton, director, Long Latency Health Risks Division at HSE, opened the Conference Theatre sessions and valued the ethos of the event. “I was honoured to be asked to deliver the keynote speech at the Health and Safety Event,” she said. “I was especially pleased to see the prominence given to tackling occupational ill-health issues. Among the exhibitors were some examples of innovative ways of sharing the key messages on ill-health prevention, which were both interesting and informative.”
Making its debut at this year’s Health & Safety Event, the Safer Logistics Seminar Theatre proved to be
instantly popular, with Simon Duddy, chairman of the Safer Logistics Campaign, saying he was delighted with the standard of presentations. “They helped attendees learn about a wide variety of logistics safety hot spots from loading bay drive-aways to managing forklift operators and identifying risks in road transport,” Duddy observed. “We will build on the success of the seminar theatre with our ongoing Safer Logistics Campaign which seeks to ensure that safety is an ongoing concern, not an occasional administrative exercise to be filed away and forgotten.”
The three-day event took place at the same time and in the same location as Maintec, Facilities Management 2015 and Cleaning 2015. This co- location of events ensured that visitors maximised their time at the NEC. Each year the event’s organisers work in partnership with the UK’s top safety product and service providers, as well as the leading safety industry organisations, to provide an exhibition and conference programme that is relevant to today’s workplace. This year, IIRSM (International Institute of Risk and Safety Management) independently authored the main conference at the event and BOHS, the British Occupational Hygiene Society, officially supported the event.
