HH Sheikh Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa Al Thani, Qatar’s Prime Minister and minister of interior, has agreed to extend his patronage to the Gulf Safety Forum, which will take place in Doha on 30-31 October 2016

The high-level conference will bring together key industry players from across the Middle East to discuss strategies for continuous improvement of safety procedures as well as share successful case studies and roadmaps towards achieving the goal of zero accidents. International safety experts and providers of safety tools and technologies will also present the latest methodologies which can assist companies to achieve these goals.

Colin Chapman, president of Euro Petroleum Consultants, said, “It is now widely recognised that as organisations develop on their safety journey, it is necessary to focus on plant safety, reliability and human behavior in order to achieve the target of zero accidents. A focus on safety is the number one priority for companies and both manufacturers and suppliers are developing innovative and effective solutions in these areas.”

“We are delighted to be holding this event under the patronage of HE Sheikh Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa Al Thani, Prime Minister and Minister of Interior of the State of Qatar,” said Abdulaziz bin Hamad Al-Ageel, secretary general of Gulf Organization for Industrial Consulting (GOIC). “The Gulf Safety Forum provides a unique arena for key industry stakeholders to present their experiences and share front line developments for the benefit of all participants. The event is designed to share the very latest strategies for driving safety excellence with a blend of international and local expertise.

“Safety is an essential and integrated part of the quality infrastructure in the industrial sector.”
