Overview
vw
Human capital is as important to sustainable commercial success as the traditional resources of raw materials, machinery, energy, land ownership and
capital. Today, no company can succeed for long without a healthy and motivated workforce. Maintaining safe and healthy workplaces is therefore as much
in a companys self-interest as stewardship of natural resources or increasing energy efficiency. The health and safety of workers must be of paramount
importance for any business. Efficient H&S management is not only crucial from a moral point of view but also from a financial perspective and meeting
applicable legislative requirements. According to ILO statistics there are 2.3 million work related deaths each year worldwide and 350 000 fatal accidents.
The economic costs of accidents and ill health at work amounts to 4% of the worlds GDP. During these three days, Health & Safety experts from leading
Construction, Petrochemicals & Chemicals, Oil & Gas, Power & Water, and Aviation companies will share their insights and experience
