Safety & Health EXPO 2009
12-14 May 2009 – NEC Birmingham, UK
AIF to host Access Live, the Access Village and the Work at Height Seminar Theatre at Safety & Health Expo 2009
Access Industry Forum (AIF), the umbrella organisation representing the principal trade bodies and associations connected with working at height, is returning to Safety and Health Expo 2009 to host Access Live, the Access Village and the Work at Height Seminar Theatre. The industry renowned event will take place from 12-14 May 2009 at the NEC Birmingham.
Access Live
The hugely popular Access Live feature returns to this year’s Safety and Health Expo.
Professional actors will perform a range of scenarios designed to reinforce the Health and Safety Executive’s (HSE) ongoing ‘Shattered Lives’ campaign.
Using mobile elevating work platforms, scaffolding, mobile access towers and ladders, the Forum will take as its theme ‘Act now before it’s too late’ as a call to action to combat the risk of injury or death as the result of a fall from height.
Working at Height Seminar Theatre
Following a successful launch last year, the Working at Height Seminar Theatre will again be a prominent feature at the Safety and Heath Expo. Packed with key topics, themes and top-level speakers, the educational programme promises to deliver key advice and insights from industry leading experts.
All seminars are free-of-charge and a full programme will be announced in the coming weeks.
Access Industry Village
The Access Industry Village will be home to a number of Forum members who will be on hand to provide clear and practical advice from their respective stands. For issues concerning mobile elevating work platforms, International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) will be present to provide guidance and answer any queries. Likewise National Access & Scaffolding Confederation (NASC) will be present to advise on all scaffolding issues, Prefabricated Access Suppliers’ and Manufacturers’ Association (PASMA) will be looking after mobile access towers and the Ladder Association will be on hand to answer any ladder or stepladder queries.
Adrian Newton, Portfolio Director of Safety and Building Management at UBM Live, organisers of Safety & Health Expo, comments: “Safety & Health Expo 2009 looks set to build on our success in recent years. Always a popular feature, we are delighted to welcome back AIF who again have pulled out all the stops to provide visitors with practical help and advice connected with working at height. We believe that the programme AIF have organised will offer visitors all the information they need to make their organisations safer and injury-free.”
