At work HSE continues to play an important role and vital component of any type of activity because many of us spend a good percentage of our time at work. However, our working conditions and styles have changed drastically over the years and the old way of handling safety issues is no longer effective. Therefore, there is urgent requirement for revising safety protocols and policies. Safety is now more risk-based and utilizes elaborate means of identifying and controlling it, including those that are technology risk-based control systems. Safety in the future will be utilizing more advanced technologies at the design and operation stages of the activity and maybe eliminating human interaction.
In this session, the participant will discuss what the future of Safety would look like and what possible technologies or tools will be utilized for effectively managing HSE, predict hazards and risks. This session discusses the various tools available for the management to controlling these hazards in order to minimize exposure to health, safety and environmental risks.

Waste management is an essential element in our industry which includes list of activities and actions to manage the waste from generation to final disposal. This involves collection, segregation, transportation, treatment and final disposal processes without causing any additional harm to environment. Understanding the type of each waste stream helps in identifying the right processing way. The current worldwide strive is to mitigate the waste consequences by identifying the optimum ways of waste management in order to reduce their adverse effects on environment and human health. This include avoid, reduce, reuse and recycle at every processing stage. One of the biggest challenges as a result of Industrial Revolution is waste minimization starting from the simple household waste to the very complicated products. Although waste management and safe treatment is considered expensive, it contributes positively to the sustainability of our environment.

Several major hazard organizations have been attempting to influence the organizational and safety culture at their sites to transform them into a high reliability organization (i.e., organizations that can manage and sustain almost error-free performance despite operating in hazardous conditions where the consequences of errors could be catastrophic) with a positive safety culture. In recent years there has been a huge increase in the literature talking about the control of major hazard risks, in particular the philosophies of high reliability organizations, resilience management and safety culture. At this session key features and characteristics that need to be adopted by organizations to achieve ongoing high reliability and safety objectives will be discussed.

Integrating mechanical and asset integrity with HSEQ and leadership is not an easy equation.

It will also cover the main elements of OE and the manner they are integrated in all business processes and what makes OE different from other HSE Management systems.

Organizational Resilience & Reliability implies that the organization’s management and culture have the proper attitude toward unexpected conditions or failures. It emphasizes the point that high reliability organizations (HROs) are not organizations that do not experience failure, rather, they continue to generate the main outcomes of their systems and processes to continuously improve. The whole organization is willing and ready to recognize its weaknesses at the various areas of the business, avoid making assumptions and can deal with events and problems as they come but can produce effective solutions. This will enable them create more resilient and reliable organisation that have the capacity to create innovative and robust responses to failures in a structured manner.
In this session, the meaning of Organization resilience and how is it linked to reliability and business continuity will be shared with the audience. In addition, various examples and case studies of practices in high reliability organisation will be shared with the audience

Biodiversity is important to most aspects of our lives especially in our region because of organizations and communities lack of understanding of its importance to sustainability and to the future generations.
