Topical seminars, an exhibition featuring many of the biggest names in health and safety, a new Cleaning & Hygiene Zone and the chance to win tickets to Silverstone – just some of the reasons to visit Health & Safety North

Taking place at The Reebok Stadium in Bolton on 5-6 October 2011, Health & Safety North offers visitors the chance to increase their knowledge of health and safety, meet some of the industry's most respected organisations and to network with other professionals.

One of the overall messages of the event is that safety should not be thought of as restrictive, but considered as a positive approach to good business management. One seminar that encapsulates this is called 'Safety is a "Can Do" Business'. Delivered by Ken Smith, divisional director consultancy services from Arc Associates, the seminar will challenge misconceptions and discuss the benefits of doing safety right to avoid any risks.
