Building a culture of integrated HSE programs to drive compliance and excellence

EVENT OVERVIEW

HSE is the critical practice to ensure seamless operations with the ability for an individual or a workplace to function effectively and efficiently for continuous productivity, and a safe work environment. This is crucial especially for energy and utility sector which includes highly complex infrastructures and legacy facilities requiring advanced safety measures, inspection, and monitoring systems to prevent accidents and unplanned shutdowns and prevent production interruption. In addition, being a highly regulated sector, companies must comply with a range of regulations and industry-specific standards to achieve cost-effective and smooth operations and reduce risks to life, plant assets, and the environment.

The energy and utilities industry has made considerable progress in the field of HSE; however, it still struggles with attaining excellence due to key challenges, such as changes in safety processes along with deviations from the fundamental principles and standards of health, safety, and environment.

The HSE Energy and Utilities Forum aims to promote comprehensive collaboration along with global best practices and innovative technologies and solutions to help local, regional, and international organizations identify and adopt the latest advancements in the field of health, safety, and environment management. Join us to understand the current challenges and learn effective HSE policies and procedures that can help your organization prevent accidents, injuries and occupational illness while minimizing the impact on the environment.
