NEBOSH representatives took the opportunity to raise awareness about its activities and initiatives in the field of occupational safety standards.
GPIC President Dr Abdulrahman Jawahery welcomed NEBOSH participation and said it showed its strong partnership with GPIC while strengthening their joint efforts in enhancing occupational safety. He said it also highlights GPIC’s role to comply with safety standards at worksites and recognises its excellence in obtaining prestigious NEBOSH and other certificates given by those concerned with occupational safety.
He said company standards are constantly developed to ensure that all employees enjoy a healthy and safe environment, in compliance with its core policies that place workers’ health and safety as a priority.
Dr Jawahery highlighted the confidence NEBOSH has about GPIC and said he takes pride in being chosen as its brand ambassador for the Middle East. He said this shows the depth of the strategic partnership between the two sides.
GPIC took part in the forum with a high-level delegation led by its chairman Dr Ahmed Ali Al Sharyan.
The event has attracted more than 2,000 executives and representatives from top regional and international companies from 52 countries.
GPIC is one of the most well-known companies in the field of safety, health and protection of the environment in the region and around the world and has won several prestigious international awards.
