The A+A 2015 trade fair and congress cover all aspects of health and safety at work – new record in exhibitors’ numbers
Federal minister Andrea Nahles will be at the opening event
A+A – the number 1 international event for health and safety at work – has now reached its 30th edition in Düsseldorf, featuring a powerful exhibitor base and continuing to head for growth. This year, from 27 to 30 October, A+A 2015 will have more than 1,800 exhibitors. For the first time it will occupy nine exhibition halls (one more than previously), representing 10% growth in booked space.
Occupational health and safety and any measures to maintain people’s working capacity are also productivity boosters, ensuring that a company remains competitive. As the world of labour is changing, these are important issues. Demographic change is leading to an ageing workforce, and we can already see labour shortages in a number of sectors “Because of these challenges, companies have a vested interest in working conditions that not only satisfy existing regulations but are also safe and help the workforce to stay healthy. It is the companies that benefit directly from such investments,” says Messe Düsseldorf MD Joachim Schäfer. He believes that the issues and topics at A+A are becoming more and more relevant.
