The WA Safety Show at the Perth Convention & Exhibition Centre 7-9 August will provide an opportunity for those in warehouse and forklift management not only to get a close look at the
latest safety technology but also to hear from experts about what the future holds.The Show will include a number of interactive live demonstrations, free seminars and workshops.
Managers and supervisors will be able to network and learn from industry experts about changes to workplace health and safety laws, and employer responsibilities and employee rights.
The theme this year will be managing risk, with speakers from Norton Rose, the National Safety Council of Australia, Safe Work Australia, Workplace Access & Safety, and other organisations.
Harmonised laws were to become operational on 1 January 2012, but only five state jurisdictions have come to the party. The free seminars and workshops will give firms, especially those operating across state jurisdictions, the opportunity to clear up any confusion about where they stand.
At one of the workshops Carl Sachs, of Workplace Access & Safety, will explain the implications for workplaces and how to prepare for a new era in safe work at heights under the Code of Practice for Managing The Risk Of Falls At Workplaces, to be released soon.
The
WA Safety Show, held every two years, is the state's biggest safety event, and close to 170 stand holders are expected to display the latest safety products and services, from protective work wear and workplace compliance systems to forklifts and loading dock equipment.
