The HSE Med 2014 Summit, takes place on 21-22nd January 2014 in Florence, Italy
London – The HSE Med 2014 Summit, taking place on 21-22nd January 2014 in Florence, Italy, will specifically analyse the Health, Safety and Environmental issues in Mediterranean countries including Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Malta, Cyprus, Lebanon, Israel, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and Algeria.
International Research Networks (IRN), the organisers of the event said the event is the only HSE event that focuses on the specific challenges around the Mediterranean Sea providing the perfect platform to network with regulators and HSE experts as well as major companies and top contractors from the oil and gas industry within Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Malta, Cyprus, Lebanon, Israel, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and Algeria.
Until very recently, the Mediterranean Sea had been scarcely explored but recent discoveries of huge oil and gas reserves suggest that the region is about to become the “new Persian Gulf” in terms of oil and gas assets and reserves.
The recent bonanza led more and more oil and gas companies to initiative business in the region. For the first time in the Mediterranean Sea, risk management key topic will be thoroughly discussed, along with the EU and MENA regulatory environment. They will allow to better understand the growing HSE challenges such as loss of lives and how to avoid environmental hazards.
Under the guidance of a strong advisory committee composed by Governmental officials, senior level executives from IOCs and NOCs in the countries mentioned along with experienced academics, the HSE Med 2014 Summit will address questions, upcoming projects, latest strategies and regulations in regards to a challenging – but vital – HSE management in the oil and gas industry in the Mediterranean Sea.
The Summit happening in two weeks at the Starhotels Michelangelo in Florence, Italy will answer the crucial questions of effective corporate risk culture, oil spill scenario, legislation, compliance, crisis response and many more.
