Besides, education, training, consultation and exchange of information and good practices are essential for prevention and promotion of such measures. Through OSH South India 2018 and SAFE South India 2018, we have provided an opportunity for stakeholders across the health, safety and security industries to showcase their innovations and technology, understand new industry trends, network and create new business connections. This is an industry that banks on newer and improved technological innovations on a constant basis. Naturally, there is an immense growth potential along with the learning and networking opportunities for suppliers and service providers at these expos."
"Notably, for the first time since their inception, the co-located OSH and SAFE expos for South India have been brought to Hyderabad this year as a strategy to rotate them across the several key Indian cities in South India. This move also aims to bring the expos closer to the end-user community and spread awareness across this region on Health & Safety best practices. The response we have got here has been extremely encouraging," he further added.

Industry speak at OSH 2018
- JLG Industries Inc Mr. Pankaj Gupta, Country Manager said, “Occupation Safety and Health is becoming a key focus area across the industry. Accidents due to falling from heights are a growing concern and thus, installation of appropriate aerial platforms and access equipment has begun gaining traction which will make working at heights safer. JLG is introducing its Low Level access range of products at this show; any activity with a work height even as low as 2 meters could be hazardous and unsafe. We offer products which cover a range from 1.5 meter to 60 meters and through this range, make working at heights safer and more productive. We have been a part of the OSH in the past, and the show has been instrumental for us to showcase our products to safety officers across different segments. It has also helped us establish contacts with key organizations focusing on worker safety.”
- Indomax Mr. Shyam Shet, DGM – Sales and Marketing said, “The awareness about occupational safety and health is gradually increasing in India as safety is now becoming a part of the work culture. The Government can play a pivotal role in supporting the industry by initiating various compliances and implementing policies. Initiatives like UBM India’s OSH are effectively bridging this gap by bringing the industry and its stakeholders on a single platform and we are proud to be a part of it. This year we are looking forward to showcase our latest innovation, the new DIY Label Printer for Safety Signs which will allow convenient printing and bid away the hassle of outsourcing. This is a relatively new product in India and we are expecting a positive response for the same.”
- ProcessMAP Corporation Harold Gubnitsky, President & Chief Strategy Officer said, “As one of the largest EHS software providers in the Indian market, ProcessMAP has set the gold-standard for cloud and mobile OHS software solutions in the industry. Our commitment to the Indian OHS market is under-scored by the fact that more than 25000 users in 600 facilities across 127 locations in India use ProcessMAP to improve OHS performance. We are excited about increasing maturity of the Indian OHS market and are proud to be a software partner for OSH India 2018 to help further accelerate adoption of automation, data and powerful analytics to improve the health & safety performance of companies.”
- Venus Safety & Health Pvt. Ltd Mr. Arpan Jani, Chief Marketing Officer said, “Occupational Safety & Health Industry is still at very nascent stage in India as compared to the global industry but is growing at a rapid speed. As a manufacturer, we see a huge growth potential in years to come for Indian safety industry. Government initiatives to build up infrastructure propel the demand of safety Equipments & create a big opportunity for manufacturers.
