Welcome from

SHEQ FOUNDATIONWASHEQ 2012 – Striving for HSE Excellence – Best

Practices from the Developing World

It is with great pleasure that we invite you to

participate in the 2nd WASHEQ Conference to be

held in Accra, Ghana at the La Palm, Royal Beach

Hotel, Homowo Conference Centre on the 31st of

August 2012.

Achieving excellence in workplace health and safety is something that we all should

aspire too, both from a moral and economic perspective, but turning the theory into

practice is not always easy. The aim of the conference is to do just that by bringing

together an experienced and knowledgeable panel of speakers who will

demonstrate through presentations and case studies how to successfully deal with a

number of key issues. You will then be in a position to consider how you might

apply the right risk management techniques to your own environment.

Our exhibitors do not sell anything at the

conference, they give away to all attendees

the knowledge of how their products and

services will help you meet current standards

and protect your workers.

I hope you will be able to join us at the conference in the assurance that it will assist

you in dealing with SHEQ management within your organization. I look forward to

welcoming you on the day.
