SHE EXPO 2016 SHOW REVIEW
A ROARING SUCCESS
13,800 professionals celebrated health and safety excellence at this year’s Safety & Health Expo in London – Tomorrow’s Health & Safety find out how the show of the year went.
The Safety & Health Expo, an UBM EMEA event, has been deemed a roaring success after attracting over 13,800 attendees to ExCeL London on 21-23 June.
The event achieved a 5% growth in attendance compared to 2015 with over 100 speakers and 325 exhibitors drawing health and safety professionals from 59 countries.
Heather Beach, Brand Director, OSH said: “Even wild weather and a referendum couldn’t keep us down this year with a significant increase in visitors across the three days and a great deal of fun. New product launches, special events like Rising Stars and SHE1000, inspiring speakers, international visitors, and a whole new show inside SHE with Professional Clothing Show for the first time allowed Safety & Health Expo to be an undeniable success. Thank you to you all those who worked with us to create such a great event. It is always a partnership between us, our exhibitors, the health & safety associations and the 13,000+ visitors that attend – see you next year.”
Safety and Health Expo 2016 was support by long-standing show partners, IOSH, BSiF and RoSPA , as well as a host of other sponsors.
Over 15,000 health and safety solutions were on display at the event, including PPE, training, eLearning, occupational health, working from height equipment and noise control, to name a few.
The Training & Career Zone was a new addition to this year’s show, providing visitors with guidance on delivering the perfect interview and fast tracking your career, whilst the FPA Fire & Evacuation Theatre (sponsored by Fire Protection Association and Emergency Evacuation Association and supported by Evac+Chair) addressed the heightened concern of evacuation during terror situations.

A focal point of the event this year was the Inspirational Speaker Series held each day in the Keynote Theatre, sponsored by Honeywell. Colonel Tim Collins OBE, Kate Adie OBE and James Cracknell OBE shared key insights into how they have overcome adversity and challenges in their extraordinary careers to large crowds of over 400 individuals.
The Inspirational Speaker sessions headlined a comprehensive educational programme that covered all aspects of health and safety from
practical tips on engaging the board to mitigating asbestos exposure and managing occupational road risk.
Safety & Health Expo partnered with the Professional Clothing Show this year, bringing visitors an array of new exhibitors and products, as well as an injection of energy into the show.
Yvette Ashby, Managing Director, Professional Clothing Show and Awards commented: “To be able to partner with such as well-established, well-respected and productive show within our industry is a true honour.”
The Rising Star Awards, a new UK Health & Safety Week initiative for 2016, celebrated the achievements of young people and those new to the profession, who demonstrated excellence in their roles. The winner of over 140 high calibre entries was James Eastham, Eric Wright Group, who was presented with his award by Lawrence Waterman OBE, Director of Health and Safety at Battersea Power Station Development.
