Health and safety are major concerns for all construction companies across the world. Your compliance and high safety records are important features in winning contracts, and the Middle East as a region is working hard to improve levels of effective health and safety management. Combined with increasing regulation of the construction sector and rules regarding the treatment and safety of expatriate labour forces, these pressures mean it’s essential for contractors in the Gulf to have effective and integrated HSE protocols and practices.

MEED’s Health and Safety in Construction conference has been designed to give you a practical and comprehensive overview of the key approaches to effective programme management and risk mitigation. You’ll be equipped with the knowledge to effectively manage the constraints you face in any project: HSE, human resources, budget, specifications and technical challenges.
