Key safety leaders to gather in Brisbane to discuss workplace safety
More than 2500 decision-makers from workplace health and safety (WHS), operations, maintenance, technical and engineering backgrounds will gather in Brisbane from 22-23 April 2015 for Safety in Action. Formerly the Queensland Safety Show, the Safety in Action Brisbane workplace health and safety event will feature an exhibition with more than 100 exhibitors and a seminar program at the Brisbane Exhibition and Convention Centre.
It’s estimated that work-related injuries cost the Australian economy more than $60 billion a year, specifically impacting small businesses. The event will explore the latest in work health and safety measures, as well as discuss how to minimise the economic burden of work-related injuries.
Mental health and wellbeing will be a key focus of the seminar series, with industry professionals discussing the 2015 theme ‘Realising proactive safety methods to encourage workplace health and wellbeing’. Confirmed speakers include Nick Arvanitis, Senior Project Manager from beyondblue; John Fell, General Manager at Advanced Safety Systems Australia (ASSA); Sally Kirkright, CEO of AccessEAP; and Marc McLaren, Director of Generative HSE.
The expo will showcase a range of products, services and the latest safety developments. Key exhibitors include WorkCover Queensland, Workplace Health and Safety Queensland, Millsom, myosh, Bradley Australia, Atom Supply Group, beyondblue and Aegis Safety.
A new feature of 2015 is ‘Innovation Hour’, which includes fast-paced and informative demonstrations of the latest products/services from five to six exhibitors.
Attendance at Safety in Action Brisbane is free and open to any business and professional with a safety interest.
Co-located is the Safety Institute of Australia’s Brisbane Safety Conference, which will provide high-level, in-depth analyses of safety legislation, regulation and workplace WHS policies across Queensland. For more information, visit www.siasafetyconferences.com.au/brisbanepr.
