Saudi Arabia’s Prince Mohammad bin Fahd University (PMU) recently discussed plans to start mutual collaborations with American Society of Safety Engineers and the UK-based National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health (Nebosh).

PMU would possibly collaborate with ASSE/Nebosh to offer diplomas in safety engineering soon, a statement said.

The visit provided chance for ASSE/Nebosh representatives to explore prospects to work with PMU. The visiting team indicated that “curriculum/courses in safety areas have already been developed that can be best used for short term training/certification and degree programmes.”

Both ASSE/Nebosh and PMU discussed approaches to develop long-term relation by constant effort to find educational opportunities for local society on safety related programmes.

Collaboration projects may include setting up venue for short-term training and certification of safety professionals to benefit local industries besides long-term specialized training and degree courses.

Such ideas will be taken into the next level by PMU in collaboration with ASSE/Nebosh, according to the statement. – TradeArabia News Service
