ACCORDING to the organisers of The Safety Show Sydney 2008, the global economic downturn has not distracted businesses from the importance of safety.
The show saw 10,276 visits, and hosted more than 350 occupational health, safety and materials handling specialists across three and a half acres at the Sydney Showground in October 2008.
Organisers say visitors were keen to participate in first-hand demonstrations of safety products and services. The most successful exhibitors were ones who showed clients how products feel, move and work, and had interactive demos and engaging personalities.
BullEx, for example, held live fire demonstrations outdoor which encouraged visitors and delegates to “douse” real flames with ultrasonic air and water training extinguishers.
uvex safety also stood out with a large and colourful stand, and interviews with its ambassador, Olympic cyclist Anna Meares. This brought attention to its eyewear range, as well as upcoming personal protection equipment such as hearing protection, gloves, workwear and footwear.
The Safety Show Sydney and Sydney Materials Handling will return to Sydney Olympic Park on 27 October 2009. Victoria will host Safety In Action and Melbourne Materials Handling at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre from 31 March to 2 April 2009.
