MENA HSE Forum returns to Dubai in November

HSE

Back with a power-packed speaker line-up, MENA HSE Forum, to be held from 1-2 November in Dubai, will highlight the role of digitalisation in the health and safety sector

The forum is already gaining traction as executives from important sectors join the premier HSE conference to exchange crucial knowledge on cutting-edge practices, and receive access to the newest developments to promote HSE in the Middle East. More than 200 participants from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, and Bahrain's HSE community are anticipated. Aviation, construction, real estate, and oil and gas are just some of the industries that will be represented at the forum. 

Attendees can look forward to presentations from corporates such as Emirates Airlines, ADNOC, Petrofac, Aura, DP World, Asyad Drydocks, DAMAC Properties, and Red Sea Global among many others. Apart from this, attendees will also be able to hear from regulatory bodies such as Dubai Municipality. 

Confirmed speakers include Sultan Karrani, senior engineer - HSE, ADNOC; Saleh Al Balushi, HSE director, DP World - Drydocks World; Lynn Hobballah, head of health & safety, 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, and others. 

The eighth edition of the conference will centre around six key themes:

Digitalising HSE: Driving Transformation

Learn how adopting cutting-edge technology can improve HSE management for efficient safety monitoring, reporting, and incident prevention while achieving cost savings and long-term sustainability.

Consistent Responsibility: Training & Audit 

Analyse the value of efficient communication, training, review, audit, and consultation, as well as the requirement for technological integration to maximise efficiency and decrease time lost due to workplace injuries.

Effective Management: Process Safety 

Establish safety plans for all manufacturing steps, including the handling and disposal of hazardous materials, and give them top priority by identifying risks, analysing dangers, and recognising hazards.

Resilient future of HSE: Sustainability through ESG Practices

To guarantee a safe workplace and enhance overall EHS performance, use net-zero solutions to sustainability, such as using renewable energy. 

Psychological Based Safety

By tackling real-world dangers with efficient tools and training, as well as learning how to construct a best-in-class behavioural safety process, you can promote psychological health and a workplace safety strategy.

Global Projects: Diverse Laws 

Conduct thorough research, identify applicable regulations, create a compliance strategy, offer training, analyse and adhere to HSE standards on foreign projects, and continuously evaluate and improve performance.

Vinay T, head of events at Alain Charles Publishing, commented, “The latest edition of the MENA HSE Forum will be a fantastic chance to share and learn latest HSE best practices and network with the MENA HSE fraternity in person. We realised early on in our research that in the Middle East, HSE is not just a corporate wing of large companies. It is instead a tight-knit community of dedicated professionals who are most interested in knowledge sharing. This has allowed us to create this exclusive event  for the HSE community which will also be the perfect platform for solution providers and manufacturers to display and demonstrate their services and solutions to key players in the region.”
