The Health & Safety Event 2026 at the NEC Birmingham is the UK's leading event for the protection of people and assets. As workplace dynamics continue to evolve with the rise of remote work, automation, and increased awareness of mental health, this event provides a holistic view of modern occupational health and safety. Organized with a focus on public sector excellence, GovNet helps facilitate the presence of local authority health and safety teams and public health leaders.
The 2026 event is split into several key content streams. The "Knowledge Exchange" theatre offers practical advice on everyday H&S challenges, while the "Driver Safety Zone" focuses on the risks associated with commercial fleets and logistics. A significant portion of the floor space is dedicated to "Mental Health at Work," providing resources for stress management, suicide prevention, and building psychologically safe work environments.
Exhibitors will range from PPE manufacturers showing the latest in wearable safety tech to software providers offering automated risk assessment platforms. Attendees can witness live "Working at Height" demonstrations and ergonomic assessments. The event also hosts the "Health & Safety Excellence Awards," celebrating the organizations that have gone above and beyond to protect their employees. With the increasing integration of AI and IoT in industrial settings, the 2026 show will feature a "Future Tech Lab," where visitors can trial AR safety training goggles and exoskeletons designed to reduce musculoskeletal injuries. This is a must-attend event for any professional dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of safety and well-being in the modern workforce.
