The Forum will include an exhibition showcasing the latest technologies, products and services and will provide plentiful opportunities for networking and building new business relationships.

Soumen Chakraborthy, event producer, commented, “Kuwait is hard at work to achieve the third of the 17th UN 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), namely ‘ensuring healthy lives and promoting the well-being for all at all ages is essential to sustainable development’.

“There is a need to significantly strengthen the workforce by providing appropriate training in issues related to occupational health, safety and environment,” he noted.

“The Kuwait HSE Forum 2020, with the theme of ‘Prevent, Prepare, Protect’, is all set to deliver. Visionary speakers from KNPC, KOC, Aluminium Bahrain, Petrofac and more will present the latest case studies and share best practices. This will also be an avenue for safety professionals to embrace the future and help define what new technology (AI & IoT, Data) can bring to their professions,” Chakraborthy said.

“Considering the huge emphasis on having a clean and green environment, the two-day gathering will have an exclusive session on some of the key areas of concern in this space,” he added.
