The race towards competitiveness in a Global Village is stealing the focus of all business Organizations and Government alike.

Founder members firmly believe that Safety, Health, Welfare as well as the Environment in general are essential factors for productivity and competitiveness.

The concept of Improving and Protecting the environment as well as building a safe, healthy, and productivity Nation for better quality of life has been the guiding principle behind the setting up of the Institute of Safety Health and Environment Management.
