Mumbai, Oct.112012 (Sachin Murdeshwar): Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) India , a brand new, two-day exhibition and conference addressing the pertinent issues in occupational safety and health industry would be held on 18th and 19th October, 2012 at the Nehru Centre, Mumbai. The launch edition that has been organised by United Business Media (UBM) is set to address timely topics and provide tangible solutions to conforming to safety and health standards across organizations in India.
Although for the past 50 years India has had legislation on occupational safety and health, the recent mishaps at the Mumbai Metro and the Delhi Metro wherein a section of an under-construction Metro rail bridge collapsed and the recent fire at Mantralaya and Manish Market in Mumbai bring to light the high disregard for safety in India and highlight the importance of swiftly enforcing stringent safety standards in India.
UBM, the world’s leading event organiser, which has 15 years experience organising international safety events such as Safety & Health Expo in the UK, launches OSH India to create a platform for thousands of occupational safety and health experts and senior business managers from across the Manufacturing, Oil & Gas/Energy, Mining, Heavy Engineering, Heavy Construction, Automotive, Pharmaceutical and Hotels and Leisure sectors.

OSH India includes the showcase of state-of-the-art equipment in Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), Lifting and handling equipment, Fall arrest equipment etc, which could prevent tens of thousands of injuries having no lost time in contrast to the current number of 700,000 lost workdays each year.” said Mr. Vijay Adhikari, Project Director for OSH India, UBM.
