According to the organiser, the specialist exhibition serving the region’s workplace safety and health needs also welcomed more than 40 visiting delegations and groups representing various application sectors such as building and construction, offshore marine, electrical and electronics, engineering services, and warehousing and logistics.
This year OS+H Asia showcased seven focus areas including the debut of the OSH Technology zone that presented smart technology and innovative solutions. The other focus areas were: Work at Height, Fire Protection, Environmental Control, Crisis and Emergency Management, Workplace Ergonomics, and Health at Work. “In addition to a strong showcase of innovations in workplace safety and health, OS+H Asia 2018 has offered a highly relevant and current line-up of presentation topics from workplace ergonomics to depression at work,” said Gernot Ringling, Managing Director of Messe Düsseldorf Asia, organiser of OS+ H Asia. “In many workplaces, the focus has traditionally been on physical safety but with the growth in occupational illnesses there is a need to broaden that scope and include the area of work-related illnesses.”
Complementing the exhibition and contributing to raising awareness on safety and health matters, the co-located oneday Workplace Safety and Health Forum was attended by about 100 safety representatives from a range of industry sectors. The next edition of the Occupational Safety and Health Exhibition for Asia will take place from 26 to 28 August 2020 at Suntec Singapore.
