On the 8-10 April at the Birmingham NEC, this year’s Health & Safety Event will connect over 13,000 visitors, more than 350 exhibitors, and 10,000+ products and solutions – all exploring the latest insights, regulatory changes, updates, and case studies when it comes to worksite safety
Re-flow will be on stand 3/J62 to discuss the many ways that their field management software can help companies become safer and more compliant – some of which we’ve listed later in this article.
The show features five main seminar areas – and we’ve listed some of the seminar highlights below.
Show highlights
Keynote Theatre
The Future of Work (8 April 10.45)
Following on from her interview on the IOSH podcast, IOSH president Kelly Nicholl will delve further into the ‘future of work’ at the show. She’ll likely cover mental health issues, and may cover the eye-opening statistics driving ‘The Lost City’ awareness campaign – the ‘city that will never be built because the 7,000 construction workers it would take to build it have died by suicide in the last decade.
Mental Health in a multi-generational workforce (8 April 11.30)
Following on from years of mental health campaigning that have helped her achieve her MBE, Natasha Devon will lead a discussion on mental health in a multi-generational workforce. At Re-flow we keep an eye on broader industry issues like addressing recruitment gaps and attracting the best of new apprentices. With generational differences in the UK often poles apart, Natasha’s experience and passion on the topic should be an eye opener.
Practical Safety Theatre
Women in Health and Safety (8 April 14.45)
Heather Beach, director of Healthy Working, and award-winning HSE recruiter, Laura Aucott, will be discussing issues like supporting women in male-dominated sectors, the importance of diversity, and skills for building careers in health and safety. We’re not alone in noting the declining proportion of women in construction careers over the last year, and forward-thinking, proactive steps and perspectives are needed to keep our industries healthy and productive.
Using software to truly master compliance and health and safety in 2025
Technology has opened up many opportunities for health and safety and compliance improvements. Field management software like Re-flow makes worksites more compliant and drives safety and safer working through multiple features:
Digital risk assessments: Digital forms like dynamic risk assessments can be used to quickly identify potential hazards, and can be automated to trigger notification to management and allow for a rapid response.
Maintaining standards: Toolbox talks, qualifications, and certifications can be stored and accessed through the app. Operatives digitally sign method statements. Notifications can trigger if anything is expired or missing.
Asset management: Track all of your assets in one piece of software with real-time updates. Asset management is made robust by automations like customisable service intervals, detailed safety check records, and location tracking.
Auditing sites: Forms can be built and customised to require photos tagged with time, date, and location that prove workers are complying with correct safety standards before further works can proceed.
Fatigue tracking: Forms can calculate an operative’s hours within the framework of the Working Time Directive. Live data triggers alerts if the regulations are about to be breached and blocks them from the schedule when they meet fatigue limits.
Near miss reporting: Using data to give an accurate bird’s eye view of your business enables a better understanding of trends and weak points. Re-flow helps operatives give you everything you need by making incidents and near misses incredibly easy to report through the intuitive app.
Visit the Re-flow team at stand 3/J62 to see the many ways that Re-flow’s field management software can help your HSE processes and make your worksites safer.
