The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) is to run a special health and safety clinic at the Health and Safety Expo later this month, it has been announced.

RoSPA will be providing free advice to small businesses at the Growing Business Clinic, which is to be held alongside the Expo at Birmingham's National Exhibition Centre on May 23rd, reports Materials Handling World Magazine.
