Dear Conference Organizing Committee,

On behalf of the International Network of Safety and Health Professional Organisations (INSHPO), we are pleased to extend our support for the ASSP Kuwait Chapter’s 13th International Health, Safety, Security, Environment (HSSE) and Loss Prevention Professional Development Conference and Exhibition, to be held in Kuwait on October 4–5, 2026.

The conference theme, “Intelligent HSSE: Leveraging AI to Strengthen Process Safety, Drive Sustainability and Enhance Operational Excellence,” addresses an important and timely area for the occupational safety and health profession. As technology and artificial intelligence continue to influence how organizations manage risk, improve performance, and make decisions, opportunities such as this conference provide an important forum for professionals to learn, share experiences, and consider how these technologies can be applied responsibly and effectively.

We greatly value our relationship with the ASSP Kuwait Chapter and its contribution to advancing occupational health and safety practice in Kuwait, across the Gulf region and within our wider international professional community. The Chapter’s commitment to professional development, knowledge exchange, and the promotion of excellence across health, safety, security, environmental management, and loss prevention makes an important contribution to strengthening the profession and supporting safer and healthier workplaces.

As a global network representing leading occupational health and safety professional organizations, INSHPO strongly supports initiatives that promote collaboration, innovation, and the exchange knowledge, experience and professional practice across different contexts. Bringing together safety and health professionals, academics, regulators, industry leaders, and innovators, creates opportunities to share different perspectives, explore emerging risks and opportunities, and strengthen the professional capability required to address an increasingly complex world of work.

This conference also reflects an important principle that is central to INSHPO’s mission: international collaboration strengthens the occupational health and safety profession and helps advance professional capability around the world.

INSHPO is pleased to recognize and support this event and encourages occupational health and safety professionals within our global network to consider participating in this important international conference.

We have attached the INSHPO logo, which you are welcome to use on the conference website and related conference materials, and a video will be forthcoming that you can play at the event.

We extend our appreciation to the leadership of the ASSP Kuwait Chapter and the Conference Organising Committee for their commitment to bringing the profession together and creating this opportunity for learning, dialogue and professional connection, and wish you every success with the conference. We look forward to the positive contribution this event will make to the profession and to the continued exchange of knowledge and experience across the international OSH community.

Sincerely,

Paul Belair, CRSP
