PPE that does not perform is dangerous. Users put themselves into hazardous situations thinking they are protected when they are not. Employers are legally responsible for supplying suitable PPE to their employees that will perform when needed. It is therefore imperative that specifiers and buyers of PPE discharge their duties from a position of knowledge. John Hooker will give an overview of the current UK PPE marketplace, experiences from voluntary surveillance activities, updates on developing legislation and provide practical guidance on how to source PPE so that you can be confident that it will protect you and your employees.

Join JSP Ltd, the UK and Europe's leading manufacturer of head protection, to explore what the new industrial and electrical helmet standards mean in practice.
In what is arguably the most significant update to industrial head protection in decades, the current standard for Industrial Safety Helmets in Europe and the UK (EN 397:2012+A1:2012) is set to be replaced by EN 397:2025, alongside updates to the electrical insulation helmet standard (EN 50365).
The new standards introduce defined helmet Types, enhanced compatibility testing, and clearer performance requirements—improving how helmets function alongside other PPE such as visors, face shields, ear defenders, and electrical protection systems.
As a result, these changes are likely to require a review of workplace risk assessments to ensure your selected helmet continues to provide the correct level of protection.
Join Matthew Judson from JSP Ltd to learn more about how these changes will impact your PPE selection, compliance requirements, and the practical steps you can take.

The 2026 updates to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 represent a significant shift in how businesses will approach quality and environmental management. By preparing early, organisations can turn compliance into a competitive advantage, ensuring they meet future regulatory demands while driving operational excellence.
Wherever you are on your journey to certification, this session will help you stay informed, compliant, and ahead of the curve.
Join Garrett Byrne - Intertek Technical Director, for a practical overview of the key changes in ISO 14001:2026, what we know so far about the changes to ISO 9001:2026, and what they mean for your company.
Topics will include:
- The major updates and new requirements
- How the changes may impact your organisation and certification
- Practical steps to prepare for a smooth transition
- What auditors are likely to focus on under the revised standard

This session will explore the critical role of fit and wearability in PPE adoption. While manufacturers are increasingly addressing these issues, many buyers attending the show are specifically tasked with sourcing appropriate or inclusive PPE and need practical insights. We’ll look at why poor fit leads to non-compliance, how wearability affects performance and safety, and what organisations can do to improve user acceptance. From gender-specific sizing to ergonomic design, this talk will help attendees understand how to specify PPE that workers actually want to wear.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is most effective when it is worn correctly, consistently, and designed to work as a complete system. In today’s workplaces, employees rarely face a single hazard at a time-meaning multiple types of PPE must function together without compromising comfort, communication, or performance. This session will introduce the 3M Integrated Protection Programme, a practical approach that helps organisations reduce the challenges workers experience when combining different PPE solutions. Attendees will learn how integrated technologies, thoughtful product selection, and validation through fit testing can support greater comfort and compatibility, helping to encourage continuous use throughout the shift.

Many organisations manage quality and safety processes through spreadsheets, shared drives and email workflows. While these tools may work locally, they often make it difficult to maintain oversight and consistency across multiple sites.
In this session, Bizzmine and Greenyard share how the international food group began structuring its quality and safety processes through a digital platform. The presentation explores the practical steps involved in moving from fragmented tools to a more consistent way of managing complaints, documentation and corrective actions across different locations.
Drawing on real-world experience, the session offers insight into how organisations can improve visibility, collaboration and process consistency in QHSE management.
In this session, you will learn:
- Why local tools often limit visibility across sites and teams
- What challenges organisations face when standardising QHSE processes across multiple locations
- How structured workflows can support complaint handling, documentation and corrective actions
- What organisations should consider when introducing a shared digital system for QHSE management

Personal protective equipment (PPE) plays a critical role in safeguarding workers across sectors but it also represents one of the most challenging waste streams to manage sustainably. Our panel brings together leaders from across the industry to explore how circular economy principles are reshaping the future of PPE.
Together, the speakers will examine the full lifecycle of PPE, from material selection and design to scalable reuse, recycling, and remanufacturing models. They’ll discuss emerging technologies, risks and opportunities within the supply chains, the role of procurement in driving market change, and how the practical, regulatory and behavioural barriers can be overcome through creative systems thinking and collaboration.

Selecting the right mask is only the beginning. Are you confident your equipment is being worn correctly, maintained, and stored safely? Is training up to date?
This session will provide an overview of an RPE audit, helping you turn your RPE provision into a RPE Programme that is structured and robust enough to enable you to demonstrate both protection and compliance.

In this talk, Richard Broad, Technical Director at RPS TetraTech, will address the technical and operational imperative of futureproofing Health and Safety Management Systems across multi-site, multi-discipline estates by drawing on combined service experience in Fire Safety, Health and Safety, Legionella Control and Asbestos Management. The session will set out pragmatic, systems-led strategies to ensure resilience, regulatory alignment and continuous improvement in an evolving risk and compliance landscape.

Health & Safety professionals are increasingly expected to manage complex industrial hygiene risks such as noise, vibration, and dust, often using fragmented data from multiple sources. Traditional monitoring methods can make it difficult to gain a clear, timely picture of worker exposure across roles, tasks, and environments.
This session explores how connected technology is enabling a more integrated approach by bringing multiple exposure data streams into a single, unified view — a “single pane of glass” for workplace risk. By combining real time monitoring with connected analytics, Health & Safety teams can move beyond disconnected datasets to gain clearer visibility of exposure patterns as work takes place.
The discussion will touch on evolving approaches to vibration management, including emerging 2026 considerations for HAVS and forthcoming ISO guidance, and how regular, task level exposure data is influencing how organisations monitor and manage risk.
Attendees will gain insight into how connected ecosystems and collaboration with industry leaders in noise and dust monitoring are supporting more informed decision making for Health & Safety and industrial hygiene teams alike.
