HPX Group is proud to announce that we have become a member of the Global Initiative for Industrial Safety (GIFIS) community, the global network dedicated to improving industrial safety by advancing the safe integration of emerging technologies.
As a GIFIS Community member, HPX Group will join a worldwide coalition of safety practitioners, technology providers, regulators, government agencies and industry organisations collaborating to share solutions, best practices and knowledge.
Michael Tooma, Head of ESG at HPX and Partner and Co-head of Workplace & Safety at Hamilton Locke also sits on the GIFIS Advisory Board.
“We are delighted to become part of the GIFIS Community,” said Michael Tooma. “This membership underlines our commitment to worker safety, innovation and the safe application of technology across industrial operations. We look forward to contributing to, and benefiting from, the collective expertise of this global network.”
Every year, millions of workers around the world are impacted by industrial accidents and unsafe work environments. By joining GIFIS, HPX Group is taking a proactive step toward reducing risk and driving meaningful change across the global industrial sector.
“Safety is not just a regulatory requirement – it’s a core value,” added Francisco Pereira, GIFIS Programme Manager “Integration of technology into industrial processes offers great promise, but also demands rigorous attention to safety. By working alongside GIFIS, HPX Group can help ensure that innovation is matched by responsibility.”
HPX Group is committed to making a meaningful contribution to the GIFIS. We plan to leverage our expertise in areas such as safety to support GIFIS’s research and initiatives. By aligning with the GIFIS mission, we will also seek to raise awareness of safety best practices within our organisation and throughout our value chain, fostering a culture of safety and ongoing improvement.
