Imperative Need For Occupational Health and Safety In Middle East |

Workplace injuries affect employee health, productivity, job satisfaction and increase the cost of business. Large high risk organizations in the Middle East today are faced with more challenges than their counterparts in rest of the world. The Middle East has a mix of culture which leads to high pressure on risk and change management. Here the role of occupational heath and safety not only becomes paramount to the top management but also imperative in the success of the company.
Occupational health and safety has traditionally been associated with those industries that are involved in high risk tasks such as oil and gas, construction or mining industries. However, today there are numerous grounds to indicate that occupational health and safety is considerably becoming significant across all industry sectors.
Many Middle East organizations have commenced to efficiently implement OHS management systems in order to protect the workforce and promote a healthy working environment. The strive is to build a safety culture in a changing environment and inculcate employees responsibility towards their own safety.
Fleming Gulf Conferences, an industry leader in HSE conferences, realises the need to showcase this crucial topic and hence is hosting Middle East OHS Strategy Summit to be held on 5 - 7 March 2012 in Abu Dhabi. The complete focus of this conference would be on OHS challenges and issues in the Middle East. The importance of committed leadership in driving a safety culture and the role of government in influencing this are need of the hour issues that this conference will bring to light.
Andrew Broderick, Director - EHSS, Sustainability and CSR at Aldar Properties, has joined the powerful speaker platform at this March conference and exhibition. Stressing on the importance oh OHS to company's bottom-line, he said, "Over the last few years responsible companies in the Middle East are realizing OHS is an integral part of business performance and if they are not organized for OHS they will not be profitable or sustainable. OHS KPI's should be embedded within a company's institutional fabric at all levels of the organizational hierarchy to have a positive effect of behavioural and cultural change."
The Middle East OHS Strategy Summit will be an ensemble of case studies, panel discussions and engaging sessions designed to provide a holistic purview on Occupational Health and Safety. This conference broadly attended by industry leaders and influencers will be a stalwart platform for networking interventions.
