Conference Streams

Six dedicated stages. Two full days. Topics chosen by our Advisory Board to reflect the issues that matter most to the profession right now.

Wellbeing 2.0

Moving beyond fruit bowls and office yoga. Robust, data-driven frameworks that treat health with the same rigour as safety. Tackling absence, anxiety and burnout head-on.

The New Risks

Extreme weather. Psychosocial hazards. A frazzled workforce. The risk landscape is shifting faster than regulation can keep up — find out what's coming and how to prepare.

Yes, But What's the ROI?

Safety has the ear of the C-suite. Now learn how to make the business case — real-world examples of new systems, technology and culture change delivering measurable return on investment.

AI, Data and Adoption

From predictive risk analytics to computer vision and wearables — AI is now a cornerstone of safety management. Join conversations that go beyond the hype and into practical application.

Legislation, Regulation and Compliance

The Building Safety Act. Martyn's Law. AI regulation. Hear from expert health and safety lawyers on applying complex legal requirements in the real world — and protecting yourself from liability.

Workplace Witchcraft: Leading Humans in a “Together Alone” World

  • We’re not using old maps, we’re pretending the terrain hasn’t changed.
  • It’s not fear of change, it’s fear of exposure.
  • The workplace isn’t a system to fix, it’s a story to lead.
  • Leadership is the operating system; everything else is just interface.
  • People don’t want to work from home or the office, they want to feel alive, trusted and connected.
  • Workplace strategy now sits in people’s wallets, not just in boardrooms.
  • The magic was never in the office.

Christopher Allen, Chief Change Officer, MONTROC Consulting

10:40 - 11:10

Artificial Intelligence in Occupational Safety: From Concept to Practical Application

Artificial intelligence is increasingly influencing how organisations identify risk, monitor compliance and improve safety performance - but what does this mean in practice for OSH professionals?

This session draws on insights from Phoenix Health & Safety’s exclusive NEBOSH Verified Artificial Intelligence – Application in OSH course, to offer attendees a clear, real-world perspective on how AI can be integrated into existing safety strategies to support proactive risk management. It will provide an overview of current AI applications including predictive risk analytics, intelligent safety management systems and emerging technologies such as computer vision and wearables. Key considerations around governance, ethics and responsible implementation will also be considered

Rob Burgon, Lead Trainer, Phoenix Health and Safety

11:35 - 12:05

Panel discussion: The Future of the OSH Profession

In a fast‑moving VUCA world, our profession is being reshaped by rapid shifts in technology, trust, and talent. This session explores key opportunities—AI augmentation, smarter insight, and more cross-disciplinary ways of working—alongside emerging threats such as regulatory complexity and new psychosocial and environmental risks. The panel will discuss why continual learning is now essential and how professionals can move beyond tick-box compliance to build a genuine culture of care—one that empowers judgement, strengthens wellbeing, and drives better outcomes for people and organisations.

Presenter:
Dee Arp, Chief Quality Officer, NEBOSH

Panel:
Crystal Danbury, Director of Group Safety, Insurance and Occupational Wellbeing, Sainsbury’s
Stuart Hughes, Head of Health and Safety, Mercedes‑AMG Petronas Formula One Team

14:10 - 14:40

Using Motivational Interviewing to Influence Decisions

In this interactive session, Dr Nick Bell introduces Motivational Interviewing (MI): a practical, evidence‑based approach to influencing decisions through better conversations. You’ll explore why people sometimes push back against change — even when it is clearly sensible. The session shows how asking different questions, and listening differently, can strengthen motivation for change and improve the quality of safety conversations at every level.

Dr Nick Bell, Honorary Principal Lecturer, Cardiff Metropolitan University

15:05 - 15:35

Building Resilience into Workplace Controls: Beyond “Just” Complying with Regulations

In our efforts to comply with regulations, are we missing the essential reason for assessing risk? And is there a better way to ensure our risk assessments are ‘suitable and sufficient’ beyond just reviewing them periodically? Drawing on previous research and his work in a variety of industries, David England will examine the relationship between assessing risk and managing risk. He will also demonstrate how the control measures we develop can be made more resilient to real world pressures via a simple process of examination.

David England, Safety Consultant

 

The PPE Forum

For the first time at SHW Live London, the PPE Forum brings together procurement specialists, EHS managers, manufacturers and standards bodies for a focused, practical conference dedicated entirely to personal protective equipment.

In a market crowded with products, the challenge isn't finding PPE — it's knowing what to trust. The PPE Forum cuts through the noise on standards compliance, product selection, innovation in materials and design, and the legal responsibilities of duty holders.

Whether you manage a global supply chain or simply need to know what PPE to specify for your workforce, the PPE Forum gives you the knowledge and confidence to make the right decisions.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

EHS managers, H&S Directors, procurement leads, supply chain managers, and anyone responsible for worker protection.

Fire Safety Live & Golden Thread Conference

Running alongside SHW Live London, Fire Safety Live is the dedicated event for fire safety professionals in the South - free to attend and focused on the practical CPD you need to maintain the highest standards in fire risk management.

Delivered in partnership with the IOSH Fire Risk Management Group, Fire Safety Live 2026 features influential voices from across the fire safety sector, with sessions covering the Building Safety Act, the golden thread of information, fire risk assessment, and the latest regulatory developments.

The Golden Thread Conference tackles the information management requirements introduced by the Building Safety Act - critical knowledge for anyone working on or managing higher-risk buildings.

HSE Mini Theatre & Experience

The Health and Safety Executive is the Official Partner of SHW Live London 2026 - and this year, they're bringing more than a stand.

The HSE Mini Theatre hosts a dedicated programme of spotlight seminars led by HSE Inspectors and specialists, giving you direct access to the people who set and enforce UK health and safety regulation. Ask the questions that matter. Hear the answers directly from the regulator.

The HSE Experience also enables cross-industry collaboration — connecting safety professionals from different sectors to share intelligence, approaches and good practice with the support of HSE's expert team.

WHY THIS MATTERS?

Direct access to HSE Inspectors is rare. Use the HSE Mini Theatre to get clarity on enforcement priorities, ask questions about specific regulations, and understand what inspectors actually look for during site visits.

CROSS-INDUSTRY COLLABORATION

Hear how other sectors tackle the challenges you face. The HSE Experience connects professionals from construction, manufacturing, logistics, healthcare and beyond.

Safety Solutions Theatre

The Safety Solutions Theatre replaces and evolves the popular Tech Talks Theatre with a broader, more practical focus — because the best safety technology is only as good as its implementation.

This stage is dedicated to practical, solution-focused sessions from leading safety suppliers — showcasing products, platforms and services that solve real problems in real workplaces. From software demonstrations to implementation case studies, the Safety Solutions Theatre connects you directly with the innovations making a difference on the ground.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Short, focused sessions (typically 15-20 minutes) from exhibiting companies, covering product demos, customer case studies, implementation guidance, and technology deep-dives. No sales pitch - just practical insight.

Height Safety Demos
