• Spotlight on Physical AI–Driven Innovations in Construction and Safety
• Introducing the ‘Hyper Safety’ Paradigm: AI-Powered Risk Prediction and Control
• Co-located with the Urban Safety Technology Expo: Expanding the Convergence of Industrial and Public Safety
• Second Early-Bird Registration Open Until May 29: Discounts and Exclusive Benefits Available

The 2026 Korea Construction & Safety Expo (K-CONSAFETY EXPO 2026), a specialised exhibition focused on smart construction and safety technologies, will be held from October 14 to 16, at KINTEX Exhibition Hall 1 in Korea.

Reflecting one of the most critical industrial trends—AI Transformation (AX)—this year’s expo adopts the main theme: “Industrial & Construction AX Transformation and the Hyper Safety Platform”.
This theme signifies a paradigm shift beyond simple digitalisation, toward an era of Hyper Safety, where Artificial Intelligence proactively predicts risks and prevents accidents before they occur.

■ AI Reshaping Construction Sites: The Rise of Physical AI

The construction industry is rapidly embracing “Physical AI”, where generative AI converges with robotics to transform on-site operations.

At the expo, a wide range of field-applied AI solutions will be showcased, including:

• Autonomous logistics and task robots
• Wearable robots designed to prevent worker injuries
• Quadruped inspection robots and drone-based safety inspection systems

These technologies are gaining attention as essential tools that replace high-risk tasks while simultaneously enhancing productivity and safety.

In particular, the Advanced Safety Pavilion will present key technologies from government-led smart construction pilot projects, such as:

• Positioning systems for non-line-of-sight environments
• Integrated AI monitoring platforms
• Real-time accident prediction AI agents

■ Integration of Industrial and Public Safety: Expanding into “K-SAFETY WEEK”

The expo will be co-located with the 2026 Urban Safety Technology Expo, which focuses on public safety technologies such as:

• Climate crisis response solutions
• Smart city integrated control systems
• Aging infrastructure maintenance technologies

Together, these events will form “K-SAFETY WEEK”, positioning itself as Korea’s largest integrated safety industry platform—covering everything from private construction sites to urban infrastructure and public safety.

■ A Business-Oriented Exhibition Delivering Tangible Results

A variety of business programmes will be organised to facilitate market expansion and real contract opportunities, including:

• Construction Safety Leaders Forum (CSOC) with safety executives from major contractors
• Guided docent tours for public procurement officials
• Export consultation meetings with overseas buyers invited by KOTRA
• Purchase consultation sessions with verified industry buyers
• The 3rd K-Consafety Awards recognising innovation in safety

In 2025, the expo achieved approximately KRW 60 billion (USD ~45 million)in business consultation outcomes.

For 2026, further growth is expected, particularly driven by AX-based safety solutions.

■ Early Bird Discount Available Until May 29

Exhibitor registration is currently open. Companies applying by May 29 will receive a KRW 200,000 discount per booth.

Interested companies can submit their applications via the official website or contact the secretariat directly.

A KINTEX official stated:

“This expo serves as a key platform where government smart construction policies and industry demand for AI transformation converge. It offers participating companies a valuable opportunity to validate technologies and enter new markets simultaneously.”

About KINTEX: KINTEX is an international exhibition and convention centre established jointly by the government and local governments.

Rick Fox and Naomi Kemp will lead a practical, fireside-style conversation on how these tools support consistency, teamwork and safer outcomes in real work environments.

AI is no longer just for tech experts. It’s becoming an essential productivity tool for professionals — especially in documentation-heavy roles like Workplace Safety & Health.

But most AI courses are too technical, too theoretical, and hard to apply in real life.

This workshop is different.

You will learn AI in a simple, practical, and highly guided way, focused specifically on real WSH tasks such as:

• Improving incident report writing
• Drafting clearer risk assessment wording
• Preparing toolbox talks faster
• Summarising meetings and safety discussions

By the end of the course, you won’t just understand AI — you will have built working AI-assisted workflows that you can immediately use at work.

Day 1

Day 2

Outcome & Skills

By the end of this 2-day workshop, you will be able to:

• Confidently use AI tools for WSH-related tasks
• Write effective prompts that produce useful safety content
• Speed up report writing and documentation
• Build simple AI-assisted workflows for daily work
• Understand where AI should — and should not — be used
• Apply responsible and ethical AI practices Identify automation opportunities in your own safety processes
• Use ready-made templates and practical workflow examples

This is not just theory — you leave with tools, workflows, and practical confidence.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This course is ideal for:

• Workplace Safety & Health Officers
• Safety Coordinators and Supervisors
• WSH Managers
• Professionals involved in safety documentation and reporting
• Anyone in WSH who wants to improve productivity using AI

No programming or technical background is required.

OUR TRAINING APPROACH

Most courses teach theory chapter by chapter. Learners get overwhelmed and struggle to apply what they learn.

Our approach is different.

We focus on solution-driven learning. You will:

• Learn only what is relevant to real workplace problems
• Follow step-by-step guided demonstrations
• Practice using realistic WSH scenarios
• Build toward a practical end product instead of abstract knowledge

The goal is simple: You leave knowing how to actually use AI at work.

COURSE FEE

$450 per participant
Includes training materials, guided practice, and practical templates

Through this event, we aim to gather designers, researchers, academics, and practitioners from around the world to share their knowledge, ideas, and experiences in the different areas of interest in the ergonomics field. It presents an opportunity to promote and publicise the value of using Human Factors and Ergonomics as a strategy for organisational effectiveness and efficiency to industry leaders.
