Momentum is building for the eighth edition of the MENA HSE Forum, which will bring together more than 150 key stakeholders from the HSE community in the UAE and across the region
Set to take place from 1-2 November at the Sheraton Grand Hotel in Dubai, UAE, this edition will provide a platform to exchange strategies and best practices, present HSE needs and access the latest developments to advance HSE in the Middle East. The emphasis will be on creating a sustainable future for the region’s vital sectors, at a time when industries such as oil and gas and construction are experiencing unprecedented levels of activity. Digitalising HSE will have a strong focus, given its transformative potential in enhancing HSE management for effective safety monitoring, reporting and incident prevention, to highlight just some of the benefits.
Attendees can look forward to presentations from big names such as Emirates Airlines, ADNOC, Petrofac, Aura, DP World, Asyad Drydocks, DAMAC Properties, NEOM and Red Sea Global among many others. They will also be able to hear from regulatory bodies such as Dubai Municipality. In addition, the Exhibitors’ Hall will showcase new technologies and services – all of which promise to assist delegates in their HSE objectives.
Confirmed speakers include Eng. Raed Al Marzooqui, manager of Studies & System Section, Dubai Municipality; Sultan Karrani, senior engineer - HSE, ADNOC; Md Ubaidul Haq, HSSE manager - head of Department, Asyad Drydock; Saleh Al Balushi, HSE director, DP World - Drydocks World; Dr. Irshad Laghari, Petrofac group doctor, Petrofac; Michael James, director of health & safety, Red Sea Global; Ronald Otte, director of health & safety, Emirates Global Aluminium; Mona Adel Abdulaziz, workplace health & safety manager, Emirates Airlines; Paul Slater, executive director QHSE, Saudi Entertainment Ventures; Daryl Wake, business development director, DEKRA Organisational & Process Safety, and others.
