9th International Global HSE Conference Opens in Bahrain
The 9th International Conference and Exhibition on Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) opened on Monday in Bahrain with a strong message about the need for safety, teamwork, and shared responsibility across the energy sector.
H.E.

'Just a few weeks ago, Bapco Energies lost three colleagues. Losing someone is like losing a brother,' he said. 'No matter how much we progress, safety must always come first.'
He acknowledged the importance of support during difficult times. 'Having a colleague who stands by your side matters a lot. In our most difficult hour, our big brother Aramco reached out, and we are truly grateful.'
The conference, hosted by the Ministry of Oil and Environment in strategic partnership with Aramco, brought together experts and professionals under the theme 'Connecting Minds, Inspiring Transformation.' It focuses on improving safety standards, sharing knowledge, and promoting sustainable practices across the region.
The event features keynote talks from industry leaders, expert-led technical sessions, and an exhibition showcasing the latest in safety and environmental solutions. Key topics include AI in HSE, leadership in safety behaviour, crisis preparedness, and sustainability in risk management.
It was also announced that the 2026 edition of the conference will be held in Oman, continuing the region's focus on building a safer and more sustainable future for the energy sector.
As industries across the region continue to evolve, the demand for stronger safeguards around safety and sustainability has never been greater. Gulf Insider remains committed to covering the key developments shaping the future of workplace safety, risk management, and environmental responsibility across the Gulf – from spotlighting innovation and sharing best practices to supporting a culture of progress within the region's most vital sectors.
