Health and safety in the cleaning industry is not confined to fall arrest devices for window cleaners, non-slip shoes and rubber gloves.Risk assessments, insurance advice and keeping in touch with forthcoming legislation are equally important. Information on all these areas can be found at Health and Safety 08, sponsored by DuPont, taking place at the Reebok Stadium,Bolton on the 8th and 9th of October.

The Health and Safety 08 events offer a mix of free seminars and a diverse range of top companies exhibiting safety products and services.With 50% more exhibitors at Bolton this year than in 2007, the Northern leg of the Health and Safety 08 event is already shaping up to be incredibly valuable for visitors.

One of the most popular attractions of Health and Safety 08 – North is the free seminar program developed in conjunction with organisations such as the Manchester and North West Districts Branch of IOSH (Institution of Occupational Safety & Health). Seminar papers are to be delivered by a raft of experts and IOSH members and will cover practical topics as well as wider issues.A full programme of seminars can be found at:www.healthandsafetyevents.co.uk.

The experienced staff at the show will be happy to discuss individual visitor applications and help provide the assistance which only face-toface interaction can bring.
