Process Safety leaders and HSE Experts from the region will gather at one place with a common goal of minimizing accidents in the process industries.

The market for Global Process Safety Systems in the Oil and Gas industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.03% over the period 2015-2019 as forecasted by analysts. Process industries such as Oil & Gas, Refining, Chemical and Power are the ones who use safety systems. Increased demand for safety systems and need for replacement of old systems with new ones as these industries have to follow new safety regulations and adopt stringent standards to avoid major accidents are the major contributing factors for this market growth.
