DARWIN WELCOMES A ONE-STOP SHOP FOR ALL THINGS SAFETY

Announcement posted by Safety in Action 06 Dec 2013

Don't miss out on the chance in 2014 to learn from thought leaders in workplace safety, at Safety in Action Darwin, March 19 and 20 at The Darwin Convention Centre.
The two-day event will mark Safety in Action’s first time in Darwin, featuring a comprehensive range of the latest safety-related products and services from across Australia.

Over 75 exhibitors will be showcasing their latest goods in front of eager audience members at the expected sell-out show.

Safety in Action Darwin will also provide attendees with unique opportunities to hear from the industry’s most innovative and safety-conscious brains through the extensive program of free seminars on offer.

With Australia’s unemployment rate at relative highs, it is refreshing to note that the Northern Territory has the lowest unemployment rate of any Australian state or territory.

Darwin holds the title for the territory’s healthiest job market with the largest employment sector, mining, comprising 23.4 per cent of all Darwin industries.

The mining and energy industry production alone surpasses $2.5 billion per annum in the Darwin region.

Darwin’s import and export trade is showing no signs of slowing and continues to boom due to its spatial proximity to Asian markets and the Timor Sea. To ensure the successful progression of major industry growth, safety procedures and attitudes toward safety must be a primary focus.

Leading manufacturers exhibiting include Arbon Equipment, Vigil Anti Slip (Prism) and Materials Handling – displaying their innovative A-Safe Polymer Safety Barriers, manufactured from Memaplex with built-in memory and bounce back technology.

Exclusive to Safety in Action Darwin, Safe Work Australia will be hosting a one off free training session on the popular subject: 'The Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals'. With previous training having sold out, this exclusive session will provide attendees with the knowledge they need to know with regards to the new labeling classification of chemicals.

Major Corporate Sponsor and safety management software company myosh will present one of the must – see seminar sessions supported by NT WorkSafe. myosh Managing Director, Adrian Manessis will lead the seminar, offering a breakdown of what safety management software is, and how it can best be utilised within an organisation.

With Safety in Action, Informa Exhibitions Australia will continue to deliver the high-quality trade shows that have made these events the big-calendar dates for safety industry professionals.

Starting from 2014, all shows across Australia will be known as Safety in Action. One major three- day show will run in September each year, alternating between Sydney and Melbourne. Shows in Perth and Brisbane will be held in June and April across alternating years and the newly added two-day show in Darwin commencing in March 2014, is planned to be held every four years.
