Following the approval of the Board of Directors of the Iranian Scientific Association of Health, Safety and Environmental Management and Engineering (HSEME), the president of the association, Mr. Dr. Padash, announced the holding of the first international conference on management and engineering of health, safety and environment. The message of Dr. Padash is as follows:

"With great pride and with the aim of improving the level of knowledge and sharing experiences in the fields of health, safety and environment (HSE), the Scientific Association of Health, Safety and Environment Management and Engineering (HSEME) of Iran organized the first international conference on HSE management and engineering. The message of this conference is: "All together for safety, health and sustainable environment".

It should be noted that this conference is supported and officially authorized by the Commission of Scientific Associations of the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology and with the exclusive approval code 02231-34172 from the comprehensive system of registration and notification of valid scientific conferences of the Citation and Monitoring Institute of Science and Technology of the Islamic World (ISC), will be held on the 29th and 30th of Bahman 1402 in the international conference hall of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences.

Importance of HSE in today's world:

In today's era, health, safety and environment (HSE) management and engineering has become one of the fundamental pillars in providing public welfare and preserving natural resources. This field is especially important in large industries, construction projects and high-risk work environments. Correct HSE management is not only aimed at preventing occupational accidents and diseases, but also helps to improve the quality of life, protect natural resources, reduce pollution and preserve the environment.

HSE needs and challenges:

1. Prevention of accidents and occupational injuries: The safety of the workplace and the prevention of accidents are among the main priorities of HSE. Due to the growing growth of various industries, new risks have emerged that the proper management of these risks can prevent the occurrence of accidents.
2. 2. Environmental protection: Compliance with HSE principles helps to reduce environmental pollution, preserve natural resources and deal with climate change. Today, an organization cannot remain socially and economically sustainable without considering environmental aspects.
3. Complying with international standards: With the expansion of international interactions, it is necessary to be aware of global HSE standards. These standards help countries and organizations to achieve a higher level of safety and quality.
4. Cultivation in the workplace: One of the biggest challenges in HSE management is to create and promote a safety culture in the workplace. The right culture can help reduce risks and improve productivity.

The purpose of the conference:

This conference is held with the aim of exchanging knowledge, experiences and the latest achievements in the field of HSE management and engineering and provides a unique opportunity for experts, researchers, industrialists and activists in this field to discuss and exchange opinions with each other.

In this conference, prominent national and international speakers will present scientific articles, practical experiences and new solutions in the field of health, safety and environment.

Conference details:

• Date of holding: 18 and 19 of Feb., 2024
