Keep up with the latest trends

The change of venue comes as a result of the event’s growing success, allowing its expanded exhibition to be housed on one floor. The event offers visitors a free comprehensive conference programme, organised by the British Safety Council, and will see the addition of the new Safety Dialogue Live Panel debates.

There are many exhibitors at the event who are relevant to those in the materials handling and logistics sector such as Toyota Material Handling UK, which offers a comprehensive range of Toyota counterbalance and BT warehouse material handling equipment. As well as providing advice on safe manual handling and distributing free safety resources, their stand will also feature a range of manual and powered pallet trucks designed to help reduce manual handling.

Something new and exciting for this year’s event is the Safety Dialogue Live Panel. The Live Panel offers visitors the opportunity to engage with lively debates surrounding the most significant issues.

The conference programme covers a wide range of the relevant topics affecting the health and safety industry and is delivered by some of the most respected figures in the sector. Opening the conference is Kevin Myers, Deputy Chief Executive, Health and Safety Executive, who will discuss Progress on the Latest Health and Safety Developments. The presentation will provide visitors to the event with an up to date report on the latest initiatives and developments that have affected health and safety over the last year.

Focusing on measuring safety culture at the event is Sarah Cudmore, an Industrial Psychologist at Cudmore Consulting. “My seminar is aimed at any manager in any organisation – operational managers as well as health and safety professionals – and will provide an overview of what safety culture is and how it can be measured, in order to understand, actively manage, and thereby improve performance. I’m hoping to make safety culture a more tangible topic for people; to help them feel more confident about what safety culture is and how it can be improved in practical terms,” commented Sarah. The presentation will offer visitors the opportunity to think about what they would want to measure in a business, thereby providing a ‘thinking tool’ they can take back and use in their own organisations.
