Engro Fertilisers Limited here on Thursday hosted the 3rd Annual Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) seminar. The seminar aimed to create awareness among the participants on the best practices, innovative solutions and creative ideas on successful HSE compliance.
Appreciating the efforts of Engro Fertiliser Limited on this initiative and successfully arranging the seminar for the third consecutive year, the chief guest Mir Hussain Ali, Secretary for Environment and Alternate Energy, said "The Ministry is taking necessary measures provided in the law like enforcement, education and training and technical assistance to embrace safety as a value so we can ensure the safety and health of every worker in our workforce.
I urge the industries to come forward and join hands with Environment Protection Agency (EPA) to strengthen the compliance of EPA rules and regulations." The industries of Pakistan have recognised the importance of achieving a very high level of performance, demonstrating well-developed occupational safety, health and environment management systems. Statistics show outstanding control of risk and very low levels of error, harm and loss over a sustained period of time.
Ten papers were presented in the three sessions of the seminar followed by a Q&A session. The participants gained insight into the expanding dynamics of health, safety and environment and learned about the trends in modern HSE management. The application of knowledge gained in the seminar will definitely assist in the development and implementation of a national risk management strategy.
Representatives from private industry legislative authorities of GoP, academia, civil society and media organisations from across Pakistan attended the 3rd Annual Health, Safety and Environmental Seminar. Renowned spokespeople addressed various topics of importance including occupational health and industrial hygiene, safety management and risk assessment, environmental management systems, clean development mechanisms and climate change actions and energy conservation.
Khalid Subhani, the President and CEO of Engro Fertilisers Limited said, "It is imperative to highlight the importance of HSE management in the industry because not practising HSE systems have far reaching consequences and can only take place when everyone, from the top management starting with the boards and individual directors all the way down to the real involvement of workers in managing health, safety and environment start implementing."-PR
