The new occupational health and safety laws unveiled just before Christmas are likely to see a fresh influx of visitors to Victoria's largest workplace safety event, Safety In Action and Melbourne Materials Handling, this April.
At least 10,000 visitors routinely attend the two Melbourne trade shows, while hundreds of delegates participate in Australia's largest professional OHS gathering, the associated Safety in Action Conference. Due to run from April 20 to 22 this year, Safety In Action and Melbourne Materials Handling follow the vigorous public harmonisation debate, just as Australia's economy recovers.
