SAUDI SAFETY AND SECURITY

The Saudi Safety & Security Forum and Exhibition takes place annually and attracts a broad cross section of the industry to the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, the industrial hub for the Middle East region. Launched in 2011, SSS Arabia has combined an international exhibition and strategic workshops to serve these extremely important industries – safety, security and fire.

Over 3,000 industry experts are expected to gather to attend this prominent event where they have the chance to experience the latest products and technologies showcased by over 60 exhibiting organisations. Whilst also learning from undisputed industry leaders who will discuss international standards and best practices on safety and security-related topics in the workshops.

This year we are excited to announce a new workshop-led format for the event where select critical topics such as industrial security and critical infrastructure will be discussed in-depth using a mix of presentations, case studies and group exercises. Utilising this new format will ultimately provide attendees with a much broader learning experience which will, in turn, benefit the industry in a much richer way.

KSA’s Industrial Growth and Emerging Security Imperatives
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is the largest economy in the Middle East and North Africa region besides being the key oil producer in the world. Given the pre-eminent position it enjoys, the stability and growth of the KSA has a large bearing on a number of countries in the region. Moreover, this region unfortunately today is beset by multiple problems and has the potential to impact the growth of KSA’s economic growth. The move towards diversification of the industry by encouraging value addition and manufacturing under the localization programs is expected to lead to expansion of industrial activities.

Defensive Driving Standards and Practices: Changing Mind-sets to Save Lives
Defensive driving training uses a “key to the mind”, before the driver puts the key into the car’s ignition. The international standards and practices of the USA’s National Safety Council offers a successful method to change an individual’s approach to driving in very significant ways. The workshop will share some of these life-saving strategies and tactics, and show how you, your company, family, relatives and friends can benefit from adopting defensive driving every time you get behind the wheel.
