The focus of the event was on the health and safety problems of the Middle East and the Persian Gulf region, and attracted professional individuals, companies and academic researchers from many industries, particularly from oil and gas.

The conference attracted nearly 1,000 delegates from Iran and other countries in the region. BSS Managing Director, Pat McLoughlin delivered two presentations at the conference on accident prevention and accident investigation. Delegates also benefited from a paper on Risk Management by Vivian Turner. Viv recently joined the BSS team as a HSE Consultant, Head of Risk Assessment and Management.
