Growing another 29 per cent on last year's record attendance figures, The Safety Show 2005, Sydney, Australia, has reinforced its status as the country's largest workplace safety event.

Growing another 29 per cent on last year's record attendance figures, The Safety Show 2005, Sydney, Australia, has reinforced its status as the country's largest workplace safety event.

There were 10,370 visits to The Safety Show over its three days in October.

Running concurrently with the trade show, The Safety Conference drew 580 delegates to hear from 80 speakers addressing diverse topics ranging from dealing with fatigue to the lessons of the Waterfall and Longford disasters.

Endorsed by the Safety Institute of Australia and sponsored by workplace safety authority, WorkCover NSW, The Safety Show and The Safety Conference have grown dramatically since the inaugural event in 2003.

Aside from the increase in visitor numbers, the show was physically 25 per cent larger this year, with 350 exhibitors spanning 13,500m2 of the Sydney Showground venue.

The Safety Show and Conference is matched by Melbourne's long-running Safety In Action show and conference, which will run from 16 to 18 May 2006.

The success of both events has prompted organisers to announce a new show - the Queensland Safety Show - which will be held for the first time from 21 to 23 June in Brisbane.

Organiser, Australian Exhibitions and Conferences' Marie Kinsella, says that although the Brisbane show was not expected to reach the size of the Melbourne and Sydney events, it would appeal to a whole new set of visitors.

"The statistics tell us that the majority of each show's visitors are locals, so we are looking forward to welcoming thousands of first-time visitors to a dedicated workplace health and safety show in Brisbane".

The Safety Show, Sydney, will run from 17 to 19 October in 2006 at the Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park, Australia.
