A-OSH 2025, a significant event in the realm of workplace safety, is set to take place in two major South African cities: Johannesburg and Cape Town. The Johannesburg event, scheduled from June 3 to June 5, 2025, will be held at the Gallagher Convention Centre. This venue is known for its modern facilities and excellent services, making it an ideal location for such an important conference. The Cape Town event, which will run from October 21 to October 23, 2025, will also take place at the prestigious Cape Town Convention Centre.
The A-OSH Johannesburg event is expected to draw a substantial number of participants. With a countdown of 57 days and counting, the organizers are gearing up for a successful event. The exhibition area is planned to cover an impressive 10,000 square meters, providing ample space for exhibitors to showcase their products and services. Similarly, the Cape Town event has a countdown of 197 days and is anticipated to feature an equally large exhibition area of approximately 12,000 square meters.
In terms of attendance, both events are expected to attract a diverse range of professionals from various industries. The organizers anticipate that the Johannesburg event will welcome around 3,500 exhibitors and over 15,000 visitors. Meanwhile, the Cape Town event is projected to have approximately 4,000 exhibitors and more than 18,000 visitors. These numbers underscore the growing importance of workplace safety in South Africa and beyond.
The theme of A-OSH EXPO 2025 is "Championing Workplace Safety," which aligns with the United Nations Global Compact's mission to promote sustainable business practices. According to this initiative, every day sees about 7,500 workers losing their lives due to unsafe working conditions. Additionally, millions more suffer from non-fatal accidents and work-related diseases. These alarming statistics emphasize the critical need for improved workplace safety measures.
As A-OSH continues to grow in significance each year, it serves as a vital platform for sharing knowledge and best practices in occupational health and safety. With its focus on championing workplace safety through education and innovation, A-OSH EXPO 2025 promises to be an invaluable resource for professionals committed to creating safer working environments worldwide.
