INSPIRATIONAL KEYNOTE SERIES A recurring focal point of the event this year was the Inspirational Speaker Series held each day in the Keynote Theatre, sponsored by Honeywell.

High profile speakers 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 from across the security, safety, fire, facilities management and service management industries.

OVER 80 HOURS OF EDUCATIONAL CONTENT 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. New for this year, visitors were also able to benefit from the Training & Career Zone, sponsored by Amazon, providing 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.

Safety & Health Expo also benefited from the co-located fire, facilities, security and service management events, which in total drew over 45,000 visitors to the ExCeL over the three days, a 4% increase on 2015.

WHAT DID EXHIBITORS SAY ABOUT THE EVENT?

Safety & Health Expo 2016 was our best show to date. We captured 50% more leads than the previous year and had some great conversions with some great organisations – even on the last day when the weather was an obstacle. We will certainly be returning again next year!”

Managing Director, Safety Media Ltd

It’s a great show and our first time at the event. The hours of the show allow for conversations between exhibitors and clients to be held before, during and after. Well organised and staff were attentive.

Director of Business Development, RegScan

Safety & Health Expo is our main show of the year.

Market Development Manager, IAM Roadsmart

We’re a couple of hours into the show on day one and we already have about 20 good leads, which has exceeded my expectations. The show is much bigger than I expected, which is a good thing.

Distributor, Kiever Innovations

This massive Expo has proved itself again and gifted CISRS a golden opportunity to tell the industry what’s going on, especially in relation to the impending changes to courses with CPD coming into play in June 2017 and new card renewal regulations.

Manager, Construction Industry Scaffolders Record Scheme (CISRS)

WHAT DID VISITORS SAY ABOUT THE EVENT?

Safety & Health Expo has all the products you need in health and safety - If you were setting up you would be able to source it all at show. Plus, it’s great for networking.

Senior H&S Advisor, Thames Water Utilities

The biggest safety event of the year, everything is under one roof, what’s here isn’t worth missing.

HSE Officer, Tullis Russel S&SC

Very enjoyable event, I’m an annual visitor to the show. Vast range of enterprise and knowledge, very enlightening.

Safety R & D, Gatwick Airport

An interesting show with a diverse range of products and services being exhibited. Very worthwhile.
