A new era

IN JUNE 2025, the health and safety world is set to experience a seismic shift. Following an impressive phase of growth, Safety, Health and Wellbeing Live—widely known as SHW Live—is moving its southern edition to the iconic Olympia London. More than just a change in venue, this move signifies a new era for occupational safety and health (OSH) professionals across the UK. Scheduled for 18–19 June, SHW Live London is poised to be the year’s standout event for safety professionals, consultants, industry leaders and policy influencers alike.

As workplace expectations evolve and new challenges arise across every sector, SHW Live is stepping up with a reinvigorated format and a powerful new platform for professional learning, collaboration, and change-making. This isn’t just an event—it’s a destination for forward-thinking practitioners who are ready to redefine the future of workplace safety and wellbeing.

A defining platform for OSH professionals

At its core, SHW Live is about empowering the people who are protecting the workforce. Health and safety professionals have never been more important than they are today. With businesses facing increased scrutiny, tighter budgets, and a rapidly changing legislative landscape, SHW Live London arrives at a pivotal moment.

This two-day event is built for those responsible for safeguarding the physical and psychological wellbeing of employees—from health and safety officers and compliance managers to directors, HR professionals, and operational leads. The show fosters a regional community of OSH professionals that thrives on collaboration and practical outcomes. It offers an essential opportunity to step away from the day-to-day grind and engage in future-focused thinking, whether you're seeking new technologies, new strategies, or new inspiration.

A strategic move to London

The decision to relocate to Olympia is a bold one—and for good reason. London is home to some of the UK’s most influential organisations, regulators, and thought leaders in occupational health and safety. By bringing SHW Live to the capital, the organisers are responding to the demand for a high-quality, accessible, and centrally located event that reflects the scale and seriousness of modern health and safety concerns.

Olympia provides not only the prestige but also the infrastructure to host a multifaceted, impactful experience. From expansive exhibition halls to world-class conferencing facilities, the venue allows SHW Live to scale up its offering—introducing new sessions, co-located events, and immersive features that push the boundaries of what a health and safety event can be.

Why SHW Live London Is unmissable

The health and safety sector is undergoing a profound transformation. Issues that were once niche—mental health, digital safety solutions, sustainable PPE—are now front and centre. With rapid technological advancement, increased public awareness, and evolving legislation, the pressure is on for OSH professionals to stay ahead of the curve.

SHW Live London meets this moment with a forward-looking programme built around the real-world needs of today’s safety leaders. Here’s what makes it stand out:

• Expansive Exhibition: Discover the latest innovations in safety tech, PPE, environmental health, occupational hygiene, training systems, and consultancy services. Whether you're upgrading your risk assessment software or exploring AI-integrated safety systems, you’ll find the right solutions here.
• CPD-Accredited Content: Attendees can earn Continuing Professional Development credits through seminars led by industry experts. Topics are curated to reflect current priorities, from compliance with Martyn’s Law to best practices for working at height.
• Live Issues Explored: The programme will tackle timely and pressing challenges—such as AI integration in safety operations, sustainability in PPE manufacturing, and managing workplace culture in hybrid environments.
• Senior Leaders Summit: This executive-level forum offers a space for strategic dialogue on high-impact topics like leadership accountability, cross-sector resilience, and corporate culture in safety-first organisations.
• 1-Day Height Safety Conference: For those in construction, utilities, and infrastructure, this focused event drills deep into the unique hazards, legislation, and innovation around working at height.
• Co-Located Events: SHW Live London will host Fire Safety Live and the Tall Buildings Fire Safety Conference simultaneously—offering cross-disciplinary learning and enhanced value for attendees managing multifaceted risk portfolios.
• Networking Receptions: Because some of the most powerful insights happen over coffee—or a drink. SHW Live London includes informal networking receptions where professionals can share stories, forge connections, and start future collaborations.

The mental Health Imperative

No conversation about workplace safety in 2025 is complete without addressing mental health. Burnout, stress, anxiety, and trauma are affecting workforces across every industry—and OSH professionals are increasingly at the forefront of organisational responses.

SHW Live London will place mental health firmly on the main stage. From sessions on proactive stress management and psychological safety to tools for embedding a wellbeing-first culture, the event brings this critical conversation into sharper focus. Expect to hear from specialists in mental health strategy, occupational psychologists, and organisations leading the way in integrating emotional wellbeing into broader safety frameworks.

Attendees will leave not only with ideas but with implementable actions—approaches that can be applied on Monday morning to begin shaping healthier, more resilient workplaces.

The future Is collaborative

In a time of complex risk, multifactorial challenges, and increasing public scrutiny, safety can no longer sit in a silo. SHW Live recognises that the future of health and safety lies in partnership—not just between departments, but between industries, between regulators and businesses, and between innovation and implementation.

That’s why the event brings together such a diverse community: from multinational corporations to solo consultants, from tech disruptors to regulatory authorities. Whether you're navigating compliance in a public sector body or leading innovation in a global enterprise, SHW Live London offers the connections and content to drive meaningful progress.

Attendees are encouraged not just to listen—but to engage. To share experiences. To question assumptions. To co-create solutions.

Registration Is free

For many professionals, events come and go. But SHW Live London is built to deliver value that lasts long after the exhibition stands come down. It’s about more than CPD points or supplier demos. It’s about reshaping your approach, strengthening your network, and stepping confidently into the future of safety leadership.

And while the experience is premium, registration is completely free. That means no barriers to entry—just a commitment to learning, sharing, and growing.
