Momentum is building for the inaugural HSE Oman Forum, which takes place virtually from 22-23 June
As Oman drives forward its economic diversification plans, the country has invested more than US$3.2bn in healthcare and safety services, creating a demand for solutions ranging from EHS software to fire safety equipment, training and certification.
Participants at the HSE Oman Forum, which is sponsored by Yokogawa, will benefit from exclusive access to insights from experts from Petroleum Development Oman (PDO), Port of Salalah, Oman Dry Docks along with other leading government and private sector entities as they share their best practices and strategies to mitigate occupational health and safety risks.
The event will provide a platform to discuss updates on the latest industry and regulatory developments, with the Ministry of Health set to share their latest strategy to assess and improve occupational health and safety, as well as to explore current HSE trends and showcase innovative technologies to optimise HSE performance.
The wide-ranging agenda is built around six key themes: regulatory framework and vision; e-hse- the next revolution in Oman; environmental footprint; zero incidents framework; risk overview; and HSE in the post-pandemic era.
PDO will have a strong presence at the Forum, with highlights including a presentation from Yousra Kindi, the company’s Senior Behavioural Safety Adviser on PDO’s behavioural-based safety system and its role improving safety culture. Jose Petrizzo, Senior Industrial Hygienist, will discuss PDO's initiatives to ensure occupational health and safety of workers and best practice to achieve and sustain highest standards of process safety and health management systems.

It follows hard on the heels of the HSE UAE Forum, which took place in Dubai from 6-7 April to positive feedback.
“The key focus of HSE Oman Forum 2021 is to offer a virtual platform to discuss ideas, exchange information and address occupational health and safety concerns to help businesses create a balanced and positive work environment,” said Vinay Nair, event manager. “Implementing best practices to eliminate accidental risks by integrating a safe system, the latest technology and a digital transformation is crucial, and at HSE Oman 2021 you will get an opportunity to learn from the hands-on experience of key HSE representatives from the region.”
