According to ILO statistics there are 2.3 million work related deaths each year worldwide and 3,50,000 fatal accidents. The economic costs of accidents and ill health at work amounts to 4% of the world's GDP. Human capital is as important to sustainable commercial success as the traditional resources of raw materials, machinery, energy, land ownership and capital. The health and safety of workers must be of paramount importance for any business.
Today no company can succeed for long without a healthy and motivated workforce. Maintaining safe and healthy workplaces is therefore as much in a companys' self-interest as stewardship of natural resources or increasing energy efficiency. Efficient H&S management is not only crucial from a moral point of view but also from a financial perspective and meeting applicable legislative requirements.
Realising the paramount importance of health and safety of workers, Fleming Gulf conferences is back with the 3rd OHS Forum 2012 to be held on 7 - 9 May 2012 in Kuwait. The event has received the esteemed patronage of Ministry of Health Kuwait and is supported by IOSH and GCC Health Ministers Council. The head of occupational health department from Ministry of Health Kuwait and Ministry of Health Bahrain will attend the forum alongside a large number of occupational health and safety experts from the GCC countries and worldwide.
During the three day conference, health and safety experts from the leading construction, petrochemicals and chemicals, oil and gas, power and water and aviation companies will share their insights and experiences. The forum features presentations that deal with a variety of issues such as occupational health and safety, cultural diversity, attitudes, ergonomics and workplace environment considerations and establish H&S mindset throughout the entire organization to mention a few.
Be a part of this exceptional gathering of top OHS and HSE professionals and get first hand information on best strategies and practices in maintaining safe and healthy workplace through exclusive pre-conference workshops.
