Simian International at SASTEC 2017
Earlier this month our Operations Director, Ian Fyall, attended the SASTEC 2017 Technical Exchange Conference in Saudi Arabia.
The three-day conference, which was hosted by Saudi Aramco, aimed to bring together industry professionals to share knowledge and information which delegates could then take back to their respective organisations and make real changes that would contribute to improvements in safety processes. The event took place from 14th-16th February 2017 and was attended by companies from all over the Gulf region.
The conference included a comprehensive programme of events including keynote speeches from health and safety experts and industry leaders, practical workshops offering valuable training and CPD opportunities and plenty of networking opportunities.
Simian International exhibited at the conference sharing information with interested attendees about the work that Simian does in the Middle East and around the world as well as promoting the CISRS overseas scaffolder training scheme.
Speaking after the event, Ian Fyall said, “It was an excellent event and great to meet so many people and share ideas. Well organised and professional events such as this one provide a platform for sharing best practice and equipping those in the industry with the latest information and ideas. By sharing expertise in this way industry professionals can take away information which they can use and implement to have a real impact on safety standards.”
He added, “At Simian International we are committed to improving global health and safety standards around the world. This event was a great example of how we can all implement changes and processes to make a difference. I was also thrilled that we received an award for our contribution to the event.”
