Focus on Emerging Workplace Safety Challenges

Yogesh Mudras, Managing Director, Informa Markets in India, said workplace safety extends beyond compliance and plays an important role in protecting employees and supporting business continuity. He highlighted the need for organisations to prepare for emerging risks, including those associated with rising workplace temperatures. According to the International Labour Organization, around 2.41 billion workers globally are exposed to excessive heat each year. Against this backdrop, OSH India 2026 will focus on solutions spanning personal protective equipment (PPE), AI-enabled technologies, ergonomics and workplace health.

AI and Innovation Take Centre Stage

Technology will play a key role at OSH India 2026, with dedicated platforms highlighting the latest developments in workplace risk management. The AI Corner will showcase applications of artificial intelligence in occupational safety, while the Innovation Zone will feature new products and technologies designed to address evolving safety requirements. The Start-Up Pavilion will give emerging companies an opportunity to present next-generation safety solutions. The machinery and components segment will also showcase advanced machinery, equipment and components aimed at improving workplace safety and operational efficiency.

OSH Gurukul to Drive Knowledge Exchange

Alongside the exhibition, the OSH Gurukul Conference will bring together safety professionals, industry experts and thought leaders for discussions on occupational safety and health. In addition, the VIP Lounge and Distinguished Buyers programme will facilitate targeted networking between solution providers, senior decision-makers and qualified buyers. The Compliance Advantage will also help industry stakeholders track evolving regulations, standards and compliance requirements.

India’s OSH Market Sees Growth Opportunities

India’s occupational safety and health market is expanding amid industrialisation, regulatory reforms, technological advancements and growing awareness of workplace safety. The market is projected to reach US$17.86 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 11.1%. Furthermore, the implementation of the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 is expected to strengthen safety and compliance practices across industries.

However, the sector continues to face challenges, including a large unorganised workforce, gaps in enforcement, a shortage of skilled OSH professionals and limited public spending. Consequently, these challenges are creating opportunities for technology-driven safety solutions, specialised equipment and professional OSH services.

Building Safer and More Resilient Workplaces

As per the press release, as businesses increasingly integrate workplace safety with operational resilience and employee wellbeing, OSH India 2026 will provide a platform to explore the role of technology, innovation, skills development, compliance and industry collaboration in building safer and healthier workplaces across India.
