SAFETY & HEALTH EXPO RESCHEDULED TO 2021
Safety & Health Expo and its co-located events, originally set to be staged on 8–10 September 2020, will now be held at ExCeL London on 18–21 May 2021.
This rescheduling covers the following events: •
IFSEC International
• FIREX International • Safety & Health Expo • Facilities Show •
Intelligent Building Europe
• Workplace Wellbeing Show • Counter Terror Expo, Ambition, Forensics Expo Europe, and World Counter Terror Congress (organised by Clarion)
This decision, taken as a result of consultation with exhibitors and other stakeholders, comes as a result of the continued disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, in particularly social distancing regulations and restrictions to international travel.
Although we are confident we can provide a safe and secure environment for our visitors, we believe the new date provides the best possible platform for exhibitors and visitors to do business.
Chris Edwards, Group Director at Informa Markets, said: “We’ve always been mindful of the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on events like ours.
“We’ve been working closely with our partners to provide not just a safe and secure event environment, but also a platform for our exhibitors and visitors

to network, do business and secure a return on investment.
“We’re confident the new date will give the market time to recover, and ensure we can offer an event that meets the high standards our customers expect. We hope the rescheduled event will be a chance for the industry to come together after a challenging period.”
Over the coming months, Safety & Health Expo will offer alternative solutions to keep the health and safety profession connected. In May, we welcomed thousands of colleagues to Digital Week, a series of webinars led by experts and thought leaders, and we will continue to offer new platforms and initiatives to keep health and safety professionals connected.

ONE FIFTH OF BOSSES NOT HEALTH AND SAFETY TRAINED
Managers play a crucial role in preventing work-related accidents and ill health – but one in five companies don’t train them in health and safety, according to a new report published today.
As businesses look to manage safe returns to workplaces, the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) says line managers are best placed to communicate messages around worker protection while also being able to recognise and act on new hazards.
Its report, called ‘How to manage your people safely’, includes the results of a YouGov survey of nearly 700 company decision-makers from a range of sectors about how health and safety is managed.
Of the respondents, 96% agreed that line managers are important in ensuring the people who report to them are safe and healthy in the workplace, with 21% saying investigations into accidents had shown

a management failure was a contributing factor. However, 19% said their organisations don’t train line managers in health and safety, a cause for concern for IOSH. Most of these organisations are small or medium sized, with 250 employees or less.
The survey also asked whether investing in externally- provided health and safety courses drove business benefits, with 82% saying it did. Of those, 39% said they had experienced a reduction in lost time because of accidents, 36% said their reputation within their supply chain had been enhanced, while 30% said they had recorded increased productivity because of fewer accidents.
Nearly half (46%) of all survey respondents who said they invest in externally-provided courses for managers said they had used IOSH’s Managing Safely, which is designed to provide all managers with the ability to apply the knowledge they gain in the workplace.
