CIOSH 2023: STRONG COMEBACK IN SHANGHAI

    CIOSH 2023, the 104th China International Occupational Safety & Health Goods Expo will return to the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC) from April 13 – 15, 2023. The leading trade fair for safety and occupational health in China will be organized by China Textile Commerce Association (CTCA) and Messe Düsseldorf (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (MDS). Following three years of epidemic prevention and control measures, the situation has stabilized in China, allowing the labor protection market to enter a phase of rapid recovery and rebound. CIOSH 2023 will attract over 1,500 exhibitors from 14 countries, showcasing their latest protective equipment and technology on over 80,000 square meters of exhibit space.

Seamlessly Integrating Online and Offline Platforms

   CIOSH 2023 encompasses four major sectors: Safety at Work, Security at Work, Health at Work, and Emergency Rescue Management. Renowned domestic and international exhibitors, including 3M, Honeywell, Ansell, SATA, JSP, MSA, DELTAPLUS, Lakeland, Cortina, UVEX, CM Chaomei, Xing Yu Gloves, DS, East Asia Glove, Hanvo, SOMO Zhongmai Safety, SAFETY- INXS, and TELPS, will take part. CIOSH 2023 has also introduced an innovative online platform - CIOSH VIRTUAL. By offering online displays, live streaming, interactive features and real-time communications, it eliminates time and space constraints, facilitating exhibitors and visitors to continue their business exchanges and cooperations beyond the physical exhibition. So far, nearly 1,300 companies have joined CIOSH VIRTUAL, showcasing more than 3,000 products online and attracting over 70,000 views.

Sustainable Development Key Focus at CIOSH Industry Technical Seminar

   The annual Industry Technical Seminar, held concurrently with CIOSH, serves as an excellent platform for professionals to discuss product solutions, share industry insights, and exchange ideas on relevant policies. In 2021, China integrated climate change mitigation measures into its 14th Five-Year Plan, established a 2030 carbon peaking action plan and proactively  pursued the goal of carbon neutrality by 2060. Under the development objectives of “carbon peaking” and “carbon neutrality”, the sustainable development of the personal protective equipment (PPE) industry has become the primary topic of this year's seminar. Experts from China Carbon Low-carbon Certification (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd., China Certification Centre, Inc., and SGS-CSTC  Standards Technical Services Co., Ltd., will discuss related policies, the effects of “carbon neutrality” on the PPE industry chain and the industries using PPE from different angles. They will also explore the future direction of PPE and offer professional guidance for the transformation of relevant enterprises.

Fall Protection Zone

   Falls from height are one of the most common accidents that cause serious injury or death to workers. Effective fall protection requires not only protective equipment, but also professional instructions and training. Therefore, CIOSH set up a new Fall Protection Zone in 2021 which was well received. CIOSH 2023 has again invited SKYLOTEC, rothoblaas, JECH, Mode and NTR Safety, five companies that specialize in protection at height, to conduct on-site demonstrations on fall testing, fall protection solutions and aerial rescue, and provide visitors with the most professional fall protection guidance and training in Hall E7.

Two New Zones for Occupational Health

   New features at CIOSH 2023 will be the Ergonomics Zone and the Exoskeleton Technology Zone. CIOSH 2023 worked with MARATTI, a renowned ergonomic brand in China, to set up the Ergonomic Zone which is divided into three sections including ergonomics, light fitness and global concept.  Visitors will be invited to experience a safe, healthy, comfortable and efficient working environment. The Exoskeleton Technology Zone emphasizes safety protection and occupational health for workers across multiple fields. Exoskeleton robots, a type of wearable robot, provide protection and enhance the wearer's abilities like an external skeleton, thus helping workers reduce labor injuries while increasing work efficiency. CIOSH 2023 has invited ULS Robotics, the exoskeleton technology sponsor of the film “The Wandering Earth 2”, to display a range of commercial exoskeleton robots, guiding the visitors from the realm of science fiction into reality, and demonstrating the low-loss, highly efficient new working paradigm of human-machine collaboration.
