Company Announcement - The recent Grayston Drive bridge collapse once again highlighted the fragility of life and brought home the fact that danger potentially lurks around every corner. Ensuring on-site safety is not just the domain of large corporations, but equally the responsibility of SMME’s. Irrespective of the size of your company, safety needs to be prioritised. “Keeping up to date with current occupational health and safety legislation can be tedious and finding the right supplier is generally a lengthy and frustrating process for many. Even once a supplier has been identified, how can you be certain that their products are manufactured in compliance with minimum standards and regulations?” says Joshua Low, A-OSH EXPO Event Director at Specialised Exhibitions.

Now in its fifth year, A-OSH EXPO 2016 has earned its reputation as Africa’s largest and most targeted occupational health and safety exhibition. The event, which takes place from 24-26 May 2016 at Gallagher Convention Centre, last year saw 85 exhibitors plying their trade and 2 445 visitors reviewing and sourcing products and services.

Low says that stand bookings for the 2016 show are brisk and visitors can look forward to the widest variety of OHS products and services available in one venue over a concentrated three-day period. “We have also adopted a number of visitor attractions that make the show experience even more worthwhile. And we need to highlight our free-to-attend PASMA Working at Height and NOSHEBO seminar Theatres. As in the past few years, Saiosh will also be running their comprehensive conference alongside A-OSH EXPO.” One of these attraction is the Business Matchmaking Programme, an initiative which was launched at the 2015 event, sees visitors matched up with the most relevant exhibitors prior to the exhibition. This process sees visitors able to schedule their appointments and thereby maximise their exhibition experience. “

A-OSH EXPO 2016 enjoys the endorsement of a number of leading industry associations, including the Institute for Working at Height , IOSM, Nebosh, FPASA, NOSHEBO, PASMA, the Safety First Association, SAIOH, Sapema and Saisoh. A-OSH EXPO will again be co-located with Securex, Africa’s leading source for security and fire products and services. The exhibition covers all aspects of security and fire risk analysis and alleviation and for the first time will include a conference that addresses cyber security.
