SUCCESS AT SHEXPO 2015


Tomorrow’s Health and Safety were among a number of professionals from around the world gathered at London’s ExCeL in June to scope out the latest and greatest ideas in the industry. Here’s our round-up of this year’s Safety & Health Expo.


Safety & Health Expo once again took place at London’s ExCeL from 16-18 June, showcasing the latest in new products and training for the health and safety industry. With over 350 leading manufacturers and distributors exhibiting it was buzzing with excitement for new releases, veteran exhibitors and celebrity speakers.


INNOVATION ON SHOW Health and safety product innovation is vital for the development of the industry and reducing health and safety risk, whether on a construction site, in a laboratory or within a manufacturing plant. With this in mind the Innovation Trail returned for a second year, highlighting suppliers from across the show with new products to shout about.


Highlights this year included Supertouch®’s new range of Respiratory Protection Equipment (RPE) with a variety of FFP2 and FFP3 masks available in moulded and flat pack form. Other wearable innovations came from Ultimate Ear Protection who showcased a unique alternative to disposable ear plugs – the custom-fit industrial range covers all attenuation levels, offering the user protection from background noise, but with the ability to hear face-to-face conversation.


Seaward showcased its new PATMobile app, which converts


14


manual PATs into semi-automatic testers complete with test result recording capabilities.


On the training side, Safety Media launched its new and enhanced health and safety software solutions. These now incorporate Incident Reporting and Risk Assessment modules into the company’s internationally renowned Learning Management System.


These new products and services are just a snapshot of this year’s Innovation Trail. In addition, Safety & Health Expo worked with the British Safety Industry Federation (BSIF) to create the Innovation Zone, hosting a number of innovation pods housing a range of companies.
