The 2023 Workplace Health & Safety Show was a huge success, with a strong turnout from occupational health and safety professionals representing the building and construction industry, manufacturing, transport and logistics, health and pharmaceutical, agriculture, waste management, as well as the education sphere,” says Marie Kinsella, CEO of the International Conference & Exhibition (IEC) Group – the organisers of the Show.

The Show’s extensive free education program which included seminars, panel discussions and workshops, provided a comprehensive briefing on the latest regulatory changes, employer obligations, best practices and industry innovations. “The Show proved to be the perfect platform for shared learning and dynamic discussion, with seminar theatres packed to capacity,” adds Kinsella. In addition, visitors and participants benefitted from the networking opportunity and in-person engagement with prospective customers and industry partners.

Local government as well as prominent safety associations and industry bodies were among the sponsors and speakers, including the Australian Institute of Health and Safety (AIHS), the Working At Height Association (WAHA), SafeWork NSW.
