Safety update for NMW 2014

National Manufacturing Week (NMW) and the National Safety Council of Australia (NSCA) will partner to make workplace safety a feature at NMW 2014. Through this partnership, NSCA will have a stand in the Health and Safety Product Zone, where it will showcase safety solutions and training products, as well as having experts on hand to outline consulting and auditing resources available to industry. 

NSCA will also participate in the NMW Health and Safety Solutions Theatre. This dedicated area on the exhibition floor will house a rolling series of presentations - live and free to attend for visitors - featuring OHS experts with strategies, ideas and inspiration about creating safe workplaces.

Adam Baldock, CEO of the NSCA, commented: “The unfortunate fact is that many of the workplace injuries and deaths we saw in 2013 came from the manufacturing sector.”

“We are firmly committed to reducing these statistics - by giving industry the skills and resources to reduce their risks - and where better than National Manufacturing Week for the NSCA to showcase its commitment?” he said.

Other exhibitors in the Health & Safety Product Zone include: Australian company Spitwater, showcasing its range of high-pressure water cleaners, industrial and commercial vacuum cleaners and scrubber driers;  and A1 Testing and Tagging, introducing its latest, lightweight, fast, easy-to-use test and tag machine called Clevermode.

NMW 2014 runs from 13 - 16 May at the Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park. Entry is free for trade and for further information, visit nationalmanufacturingweek.com.au.
