Welcome from QPm

This event marks the first HSE in Construction Conference

in the region and signals that we are trying to enhance

the frameworks that are shaping local and international

developments. Every associate understands that as companies

grow the responsibility to share knowledge, vision and resources

becomes increasingly important. This forum, much like modern

business, is shaped by a need to collaborate, create something

new, and invest in partnerships that will carry us into the future.

Together we are shifting towards developing better industry

standards that ensure environmental preservation, quality, and

safety become the currency of our success. The local community

has seen a rapid rate of growth, as a result we need to design and

implement innovative HSE processes that deliver unprecedented

efficiency.

The conference endeavors to provide new ways of perceiving

our organisations and the industry as a whole while challenging

us to redefine current HSE practices. The success of this unique

event has been influenced by the participants, sponsors and

international speakers who have generously offered their time

and expertise to help cultivate dynamic discussions. I would like

to extend my gratitude to everyone who has contributed to the

forum’s success. Ultimately, I encourage people to participate in

the various debates, Q&A sessions, and become engaged in the

conference’s central focus; a desire to foster improvement and

influence change.

Nasser abdulrahmaN KamalChief exeCutive OffiCer

I would like to welcome you to the inaugural HSE in

Construction, Qatar Conference.

Today’s event is a result of discussions that started early

this year between Construction Week and QPM. We aimed to

establish a forum to improve safety on every level, by bringing

together government bodies, developers, contractors and

solution providers, to share experiences and move towards a

common view to tackling the challenges of HSE in construction.

The presentations today will look at how cultural and

geographical differences impact legislation and enforcement of

safety measures, and how innovative technologies and solutions

can maximise safety in construction. These developments will

allow us to foster a safety culture that goes beyond corporate

rhetoric and mere aspirations, to set clear objectives which can

be met and sustained over time.

Despite the constraints presented in today’s economic

environment, we need to create a safety culture and mindset

that minimises risks and accidents. By drawing on the broad

experience and high level expertise of the people gathered

here, we hope you will walk away inspired to move your

company forward by prioritising safety and making continuous

improvements.

I would like to extend our gratitude to our partner QPM,

the chairman and speakers, and the organisations endorsing

this event. A special thanks go out to our event sponsors,

Hyder Consulting, DOKA and Delta Plus, without whom this

conference would not have been possible.

I welcome you all and hope you will enjoy today’s conference.
