December 5th, 2010 – Sharq Hotel, Doha

2. Welcome from QPM
This event marks the first HSE in Construction Conference
in the region and signals that we are trying to enhance
the frameworks that are shaping local and international
developments. Every associate understands that as companies
grow the responsibility to share knowledge, vision and resources
becomes increasingly important. This forum, much like modern
business, is shaped by a need to collaborate, create something
new, and invest in partnerships that will carry us into the future.
Together we are shifting towards developing better industry
standards that ensure environmental preservation, quality, and
safety become the currency of our success. The local community
has seen a rapid rate of growth, as a result we need to design and
implement innovative HSE processes that deliver unprecedented
efficiency.
The conference endeavors to provide new ways of perceiving
our organisations and the industry as a whole while challenging
us to redefine current HSE practices. The success of this unique
event has been influenced by the participants, sponsors and
international speakers who have generously offered their time
and expertise to help cultivate dynamic discussions. I would like
to extend my gratitude to everyone who has contributed to the
forum’s success. Ultimately, I encourage people to participate in
the various debates, Q&A sessions, and become engaged in the
conference’s central focus; a desire to foster improvement and
influence change.
Nasser AbdulRahman Kamal
Chief Executive Officer

3. I would like to welcome you to the inaugural HSE in
Construction, Qatar Conference.
Today’s event is a result of discussions that started early
this year between Construction Week and QPM. We aimed to
establish a forum to improve safety on every level, by bringing
together government bodies, developers, contractors and
solution providers, to share experiences and move towards a
common view to tackling the challenges of HSE in construction.
The presentations today will look at how cultural and
geographical differences impact legislation and enforcement of
safety measures, and how innovative technologies and solutions
can maximise safety in construction. These developments will
allow us to foster a safety culture that goes beyond corporate
rhetoric and mere aspirations, to set clear objectives which can
be met and sustained over time.
Despite the constraints presented in today’s economic
environment, we need to create a safety culture and mindset
that minimises risks and accidents. By drawing on the broad
experience and high level expertise of the people gathered
here, we hope you will walk away inspired to move your
company forward by prioritising safety and making continuous
improvements.
I would like to extend our gratitude to our partner QPM,
the chairman and speakers, and the organisations endorsing
this event. A special thanks go out to our event sponsors,
Hyder Consulting, DOKA and Delta Plus, without whom this
conference would not have been possible.
I welcome you all and hope you will enjoy today’s conference.
