From 3 to 5 June 2025, A-OSH EXPO took place as South Africa’s key event dedicated to occupational health and safety. Co-located with Securex South Africa, Facilities Management Expo, and Firexpo at Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand, A-OSH provided professionals with an invaluable platform to explore H&S innovation, compliance solutions, and training resources.
“The 2025 edition welcomed a strong contingent of exhibitors showcasing a full suite of PPE, health technology, fall protection systems, ergonomic solutions, signage, and environmental safety products. Across the show floor, suppliers and solution providers met with procurement officers, safety managers, and decision-makers eager to improve workplace safety standards. Thousands of visitors, many with strategic purchasing roles and executive decision-making authority, attended the co-located shows,” said Mark Anderson, portfolio director at Specialised Exhibitions, a division of Montgomery Group.
Delegates gained key industry knowledge at the free-to-attend A-OSH Seminar Theatre, where expert speakers presented on themes ranging from regulatory updates and mental health in the workplace to emerging risks and the integration of technology in safety protocols. The sessions proved particularly relevant given the current focus on employee well-being, workplace culture, and safety compliance.
“Most of the sessions at the Saiosh Seminar Theatre were so packed that people stood outside the theatre, looking in! The ever-popular Mr Zee’s Industrial Theatre once again showed that interactive, live sessions are a big hit with the visitors,” said Anderson.
The Working at Height Seminar Theatre, powered by BBF Safety and the Institute for Work at Height (IWH) brought information to attendees seeking answers to current risks around working at height.
“A-OSH EXPO also featured live demonstrations, allowing visitors to engage directly with equipment and services in a practical, hands-on setting. This immersive approach provided a better understanding of how to implement effective health and safety strategies across various industries,” said Anderson.
Visitor and Exhibitor Feedback
With a highly targeted visitor base and a strong educational programme, A-OSH EXPO 2025 left attendees impressed by the relevance and quality of the event. Many exhibitors reported outstanding engagement and productive conversations with buyers.
Intra-Safe’s Ken Annandale said: “Because we’re based in Mauritius, we don’t often get to meet our target market. A-OSH EXPO lets us do that. I love the vibe at the shows, and I love connecting with the visitors. I’ll be back in 2026.”
Chris Morner from Dekra IOL said: “We would describe A-OSH EXPO as: innovation, impact, and partnerships. A-OSH EXPO brings together leading-edge occupational health and safety solutions, meaningful industry collaboration, and real-world safety impact under one roof. Exhibiting at A-OSH EXPO has played a pivotal role in expanding DEKRA Industrial’s and the IOL’s visibility and influence across local and pan-African high-risk industries. It is therefore more than just a showcase: it is where conversations turn into powerful long-term partnerships.”
Mauritz Marais from Future Tech Computers (Namibia) said: “The stands were of a high standard, and the shows are well organised. There is great variety, and we found what we were looking for.”
“Visitors came from across South Africa and neighbouring countries, with many highlighting the value of being able to compare products side-by-side, engage directly with technical experts, and gain insights from the free seminar sessions. Whether seeking the latest in PPE, safety software, ergonomics, or compliance solutions, attendees walked away better informed and better equipped to meet their health and safety obligations. We now look forward to our Cape Town event, taking place from 21 to 23 October at the Cape Town International Conference Centre,and next year’s Johannesburg event, which takes place at Gallagher Convention Centre from 2 to 4 June. Full details of both shows are available on our website at www.aosh.co.za,” said Anderson.
