TSA Safety Summit, 21 April 2026, Double Tree by Hilton, Wokingham

Safety has to be at the top of every commercial laundry’s agenda. It’s a key focus for the Textile Services Association (TSA), which runs regular events on the subject. The TSA will be holding its next major Safety Summit on 21 April 2026 at the Double Tree by Hilton in Wokingham. The programme for the day combines industry case studies, updated guidance and interactive learning.

“Our aim is to bring the industry together to strengthen safety culture, share progress, and focus on practical actions that will continue to raise standards across the sector,” says the TSA’s managing director Emma Kiviniemi Wilson.

Key topics for the Summit include fire safety, with practical guidance and a case study, and CPR, which will include a hands-on training session.

The Summit is led by the TSA’s Health & Safety Steering Group, with expert speakers from within and outside the industry.  Alongside the fire safety and CPR sessions the day will include, among other topics, a review of progress and trends, and a presentation on complying with the revised standards for machinery.  There’s also an industry panel session including a case study on implementing a proactive safety culture.  The day concludes with a keynote session on manual handling and ergonomics, with a look at the latest risk-assessing technology. 

During the Summit there will be various networking opportunities, including coffee breaks and a buffet lunch.  The following day the TSA will host a Sustainability Summit at the same venue.

The Health and Safety Summit starts at 10am and will finish at 3pm.  Tickets cost £120 +VAT per person for TSA members and £240 +VAT for non-members.  For more information and to book a place click here.
