Safer Logistics to showcase talented line-up from partners
14 December 2015
Western Business Exhibitions is delighted to announce a strong line-up for 2016’s Safer Logistics Seminar and Feature area at The Health & Safety Event.

The Safer Logistics Seminar and Feature area is building on last year’s exciting debut with a better than ever line-up of educational partners to provide first class presentations tackling key safety hot spots in the world of warehousing and logistics.
The Health & Safety Event at The NEC Birmingham has now firmly established itself as the home of health and safety in the UK and takes place from March 22-24 2016.
The harsh reality is the warehouse and logistics setting sees too many deaths and brutal injuries despite the steady progress that has been made over the years.
Whether crushed by tumbling metal loads from poorly planned racking, trapped under their own overturned forklifts, or struck by runaway lorries, to be quite frank, a job in warehousing and logistics can kill you and become a living nightmare for surviving families.
That’s why we’re delighted to partner with first-rate industry bodies to help boost logistics safety.
The Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport (CILT) is a formidable membership organisation dedicated to promoting excellence in logistics. It constitutes the greatest resource of professional expertise within its areas of interest and has run many forums designed to promote best practice in logistics safety, raise awareness of safety concerns and influence safety improvements.
The Fork Lift Truck Association (FLTA) exists to maintain and raise standards in the materials handling industry and leads from the front on safety with an expansive range of initiatives that take managers and operators A to Z through forklift safety. These include the Safe User Group, the Safer Site Programme, and a top notch forklift dedicated Safety Conference, to name just a few.
The United Kingdom Warehousing Association (UKWA) is Britain’s leading trade organisation representing the third party logistics (3PL) sector. A key industry thought leader, UKWA has a strong focus on warehouse and logistics safety.
The Food Storage & Distribution Federation (FSDF) is the sole UK trade body that focuses on representing and supporting the interests of the entire food and drink logistics industry. Its safety initiatives include the Health and Safety Leadership Programme, and the Health & Safety Awards.
RTITB (formerly the Road Transport Industry Training Board) provides people working in the transport, warehousing and logistics industries with the tools they need for training. Thriving in its role of thought leader, RTITB offers expertise right across the logistics world from forklifts to lorries.
We are also delighted to welcome back sponsor Toyota Material Handling UK, who will be making a presentation on each of the three days of the event.
We will shortly reveal the full seminar programme.
