The Vice Chancellor, Quaid-e-Azam University, Dr Qasim Jan was the Chief Guest in the moot.

He said that the ARL being a value driven organisation, considers HSE as building blocks of our core values.
'We believe that sustained business success is only possible if we reach out and give something back to our stakeholders and society at large,' he added. Further, the ARL is committed to ensuring health and safety to its employees, contractors, and customers and work for continual improvements in the field of HSE, ARL chief said.

He said that real health and safety culture in any organisation could only prevail if the top ranking people of the organisation believe that it is the right thing to do.
