Breaking New Ground: SafeStart's First Public Workshop in Dubai a Huge Success!

The SafeStart Trainer Certification Level 1 Course made a powerful debut in Dubai on February 18-19, bringing together top companies from across the Middle East in a sold-out, high-energy event.

With a full house and an engaged audience, the workshop sparked meaningful discussions, personal stories, and hands-on learning about human factors and Critical Error Reduction Techniques (CERTs). Participants explored what really happens when we are rushing, frustrated, fatigued, or complacent—and, more importantly, how to self-trigger on these states to prevent errors before they lead to incidents.

As safety professionals, we often tell workers to stop and think before committing to a task, but we rarely explain what to think about. SafeStart fills this gap by helping individuals rate their state before taking action:

  • Am I rushing?
  • Am I tired?
  • Am I at risk of making a critical error?

By developing these lifesaving skills, SafeStart helps stop the domino effect that can lead to accidents—even fatalities.

This was just the beginning! Stay tuned for the next SafeStart workshop in the Middle East, and be part of this life-changing experience.

The 6th edition of the HSE UAE Forum held on 6-7 April 2021 at Habtoor Grand Resort, Dubai was the first live HSE event in the region after the pandemic lockdown and it concluded to a great response. 

We welcomed attendees over two days providing access to thought-provoking presentations, case studies and interactive panel discussions. It was the ideal live opportunity for knowledge sharing and networking at this strategic forum.

The forum served as a platform to realize the UAE’s efforts to prioritize workforce safety, sustainability and best practices post COVID-19 where attendees gained access to information on safety practices, latest technologies and solutions to optimise HSE function in the country.

 

HSE Oman Forum's first session featured Yokogawa RAP Ltd's excellent insights on digital control of work presented by Mark Breese followed by an engaging panel discussing integration of HSE with business continuity, effective modes of communicating in training and PDO's best practices to achieve highest process safety standards.
