ACT's exhibition stand at the 2025 Health and Safety Event We’re excited to confirm that ACT will officially be attending the Health and Safety Event 2026. Taking place from the 28th – 30th April at the NEC Birmingham, the Health and Safety Event is the UK’s premier event for occupational health and safety experts.

ACT will have a dedicated stall across all three days of the event, where our friendly customer support team will be on hand to discuss all things health, safety, wellbeing and environmental training for individuals and teams alike. We’ll also have a selection of our highly regarded NEBOSH study books available to browse and order from the stand.

As well as more than 350 exhibitors and industry experts, the Health and Safety Event will also feature a range of health and safety innovations and experiences for visitors to try, as well as full itinerary of talks on a range of industry topics. The Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) will host conference sessions in the Keynote Theatre, lead by industry experts. Topics from 2025’s agenda included ‘Falls Stop Here: Ensuring Safe Work At Height Practices’ and ‘Mental Health In A Multi-Generational Workforce’.

Last year’s Health and Safety Event saw over 13,000 visitors and 377 exhibitors (including ACT!) from industry sectors like manufacturing, engineering, renewable energy and more. At our stand we were able to connect with industry professionals, showcase our services, and even catch up with some former learners now in health and safety roles!

 

ACT was proud to be part of this fantastic gathering of industry professionals, sharing insights and networking with peers committed to advancing workplace safety. The event highlighted the latest innovations, trends, and challenges facing the sector, reinforcing the importance of collaboration and continuous learning. We’re excited to confirm ACT’s participation in the 2026 show and encourage you to save the dates!” – Emma Griffiths, ACT Business Development Manager

Next year’s event promises to be bigger than ever before, with almost 80% of exhibitor spaces already being sold out. According to Event Director David Bishop, the 2026 event will also see NEBOSH host a new initiative on training in collaboration with some of their learning partners.
