What to know about A-OSH Expo South Africa
A-OSH is Africa's largest occupational health and safety trade show, co-located with Securex South Africa and Facilities Management Expo to create a massive cross-sector compliance hub. Exhibitors should expect a highly regulated audience focused on Mining, Construction, and Manufacturing sectors seeking SABS-compliant (South African Bureau of Standards) equipment and liability-reducing software.
The Gallagher Convention Centre is prone to load-shedding (power outages); while they have generators, ensure your booth display can handle sudden power flips or bring backup UPS units for sensitive electronics.
Because this show is co-located with Securex, your booth design must clearly distinguish between 'Safety' (PPE/OHS) and 'Security' to ensure you attract high-intent health and safety officers rather than general security guards.
The South African market values Physical tactile testing; bring samples of PPE, boots, or fall-arrest gear that visitors can handle and try on to verify durability against local industrial conditions.
Registration data often includes government and municipal procurement officers who have specific BBBEE (Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment) requirements; have your compliance documentation or local partnership details ready to discuss.
