Not just an exhibition, but a unified safety ecosystem
The ROBOT-2026 concept is based on the idea of creating a holistic ecosystem that encompasses all aspects of worker protection—from high-quality workwear to high-tech personal protective equipment (PPE) and advanced work practices.
"Today, safety is more than just handing out a helmet and gloves. It's a comprehensive solution that includes ergonomic design, innovative materials, smart technologies, and, crucially, a culture of safe behavior," note the exhibition organizers. "Our goal is to bring together key market players in one place so that representatives of organizations and enterprises from any industry can find answers to all their questions in a single day."
What guests will see: four key sections of the exhibition
Workwear and footwear: where functionality and style meet.
Guests will see how far the industry has come from the same old uniforms of quilted jackets and tunics. Modern workwear is all about technology:
Smart fabrics: materials that change their properties depending on the weather (winter/summer), repel dirt, water, and oils, and are also flame-retardant and antistatic.
Ergonomics and comfort: thoughtful cut and design that allow for unrestricted movement, ventilation systems, and additional tool pockets.
Corporate style: workwear as a component of the company brand. Manufacturers will present solutions that help create a unique and recognizable image for employees.
Personal protective equipment (PPE): technologies protecting health.
This section will amaze you with its diversity: from traditional hard hats and gloves to high-tech innovations.
Hearing and vision protection: modern earplugs with filters, smart glasses with darkening and augmented reality.
Breathing and falls: air purifiers, fall arrest systems with fall sensors that automatically trigger an alarm.
Smart PPE: devices built into clothing or helmets that can monitor a worker's health (heart rate, temperature) or their location in a hazardous area.
Occupational Health and Safety: Solutions for Enterprises
This section will feature services and technologies, not products:
Software for occupational health and safety management and occupational risk assessment.
Training equipment and simulators for emergency response training.
Specialized booths from consulting and certification companies.
Professional cleaning and dry cleaning: hygiene and service life extension.
This section will complement the overall presentation, demonstrating how to properly care for workwear and PPE to maintain their protective properties. Companies will showcase mobile cleaning solutions, eco-friendly detergents, and industrial laundering technologies.
Business Program: Let's Talk About the Main Thing
An exhibition is always about knowledge and experience. ROBOT-2026 features a comprehensive business program focused on the most pressing topics:
February 18: Specialized Seminar "Topical Occupational Safety Issues: Legislation, Practice, and Responsibility"
This event, featuring leading industry experts, will cover key topics: the latest legislative changes, international experience, common violations, Occupational Safety and Health (OH&S) organization, public policy, information support, fire protection, and modern PPE. The seminar will provide a practical platform for professional development for industry specialists.
February 19: Seminars for occupational safety specialists will be held, organized by exhibitors with the participation of Belarusian and Russian experts.
Practitioners will share case studies on how to reduce accidents, and technologists will explain what to consider when choosing protective equipment today.
February 20: Special attention will be given to the exhibition's key innovations. Manufacturers and suppliers will present their latest developments directly on the site, and guests will be among the first to see trends for the coming years.
Occupational Safety Games "Heroes in Hard Hats"
The exhibition will feature interactive occupational safety games called "Heroes in Hard Hats."
This is not just entertainment. Participants will be challenged to solve problems simulating real-life industrial situations, including properly equipping themselves, identifying hazards at a virtual facility, and quickly making the right decisions in an impromptu emergency. This is a unique opportunity for professionals to test their knowledge and reaction times, and for companies to assess how well their employees understand safety regulations.
First Aid Workshops
The "Workwear. Occupational Safety and Health" exhibition program will feature practical first aid workshops led by Stanislav Manerov, CEO of the Security Space Group of Companies (Russia). The exhibition will showcase modern methods and approaches that combine technical means with psychological training, enabling participants to acquire vital practical skills.
