The Safety In Action and Melbourne Materials Handling trade show will be back in April in Melbourne, showcasing some of the country’s best occupational health & safety (OHS) and industrial safety solutions.

New OHS laws unveiled before Christmas 2009 are likely to see a fresh influx of visitors to Victoria's largest workplace safety event, Safety In Action and Melbourne Materials Handling, according to organisers Australian Exhibitions & Conferences.

At least 10,000 visitors attended the two Melbourne trade shows in 2009, with hundreds of delegates participating in Australia's largest professional OHS gathering, the associated Safety in Action Conference.

Due to run from April 20 to 22 this year, Safety In Action and Melbourne Materials Handling will take place at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre in Victoria. The Safety Institute of Australia will host the concurrent Safety in Action conference at the Melbourne Convention Centre.
