The exhibition is the UK's national event for the Safety & Health Expo and attracted over 15,000 health & safety professions in 2014. The organisers widely expect 2015 attendance to smash this number. To register for the event for free, please click HERE

Plans for 2015 are fast building momentum and visitors will have the opportunity to:

•Discover the latest innovations, products and services from 300 market leading companies

•Accumulate Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points and certificates

•Receive trusted education content and critical advice on legislation via our 50 seminars

In 2014, an enormous 72% of attendees were manager level and above. In addition to this, 41% came from the midlands & north while 59% came from the South & South East- a perfect representation of the split of UK businesses across the country. Attendees came from sectors right across the economy including construction, manufacturing, utilities, oil & gas, retail, public sector and professional services.

Heather Beach, Director - OSH Global, said:

"We are very proud to be the national lynchpin of health & safety but we never rest on our laurels. We know that the industry is always hungry for innovation and that is one of our priorities for this year's event."

Taking place at London ExCeL, Jun 16-18, the annual gathering of the safety & health industry has some huge names already confirmed to exhibit: BM Polyco, Scott Safety, ACT Associates, Bureau Veritas, Casella and British Red Cross.

Teresa Budworth, Chief Executive, NEBOSH, said:

"NEBOSH has booked its space at Safety & Health Expo 2015! The innovations planned, the networking opportunities, the Occupational Health symposium, the showcasing of new developments and the free educational sessions will make it the best show yet."

Alan Murray, BSIF, said:

"Ever evolving to meet and exceed exhibitor and visitor expectations, the BSIF in partnership with UBM, have created an Innovation Zone to attract first time exhibitors to Expo. We also look forward to hosting the BSIF Awards at Expo which recognise innovation in the safety and health industry. Safety and Health Expo isn't just about selling products and services, it is also a focal point for Health and Safety Week which BSIF proudly supports."

The event is part of the Protection & Management Series, which includes other major industry shows: FIREX International, IFSEC International, Facilities Show and Service Management Expo. It is also co-located with the IOSH Conference 2015. In total, 45,000 people are expected to attend over the three days making it one of the major business events of the year.
