Safety show and conference
The WA Safety Show will be held from 7-9 August at the Perth Convention Exhibition Centre. The show will offer visitors an opportunity to network and learn from industry experts via interactive live demonstrations, dedicated feature areas, free seminars and workshops. It is suitable for OHS managers and officers, risk managers, production managers and logistics managers, as well as those in charge of warehouses, quality assurance, project management, maintenance, plant, building construction and maintenance, HR, rehabilitation, occupational therapy and emergency services.
The Perth Safety Conference, hosted by the Safety Institute of Australia in conjunction with the WA Safety Show, will feature more than 40 industry experts discussing key industry topics under the overall theme ‘From Downtown to Boomtown’. The conference has three streams: Downtown - this stream will focus on OHS issues affecting small to medium-sized businesses and how to better manage these issues without a complex system or breaking the bank; Boomtown - this stream will focus on sharing lessons from the booming resources sector and on helping contractors navigate their way through the often daunting requirements for making it in this market; Innovation & Technology - this stream will look at the research and emerging technology that has the potential to improve OHS outcomes, both for downtown and in the boomtown.
