PMOHS’25 – Occupational Health and Safety Summit is Türkiye’s first large-scale summit solely dedicated to Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) in the oil and gas sector. The event is organized by the Chamber of Petroleum Engineers (PMO) and will take place on June 18, 2025, at the prestigious Bilkent Hotel and Conference Center in Ankara.
Bringing together public institutions, private companies, NGOs, and academia, PMOHS’25 aims to become the leading platform in Türkiye for knowledge-sharing, policy discussion, and strategic collaboration in the field of OHS.
As the energy industry in Türkiye rapidly expands with significant onshore and offshore exploration and production activities, the importance of occupational health and safety management becomes more critical than ever. PMOHS’25 seeks to respond to these evolving challenges by fostering a culture of safety, enhancing risk management awareness, and sharing global best practices among professionals.
Why PMOHS Matters?
1. Sector-specific Focus: Unlike general OHS conferences, PMOHS is tailor-made for the petroleum and natural gas industry.
2. Strategic Timing and Location: Held in Ankara, the heart of Türkiye’s energy policy and administration.
3. Inclusive Participation: Welcomes professionals from energy companies, government institutions, academic circles, and NGOs.
4. Collaborative Vision: Encourages partnerships, research-driven discussion, and multi-stakeholder engagement.
Through keynote speeches, expert panels, and interactive sessions, PMOHS’25 will address key topics such as:
• Global OHS leadership and trends
• Regulatory updates and compliance challenges
• Technological advancements in workplace safety
• Safety culture and human-centered approaches
• Risk management strategies and incident response
PMOHS’25 is more than just a conference — it is a movement to be a ring in the chain, inspiring collective responsibility and continuous improvement in occupational health and safety across Türkiye’s oil and gas sector.
