Speaking at the opening ceremony of the third Petrochemical Health
Conference, Emadi highlighted the efforts made to raise awareness among employees
and their families regarding healthy living. He outlined the festival's other
goals, including promoting self-care, achieving balance between work and life,
paying attention to both physical and mental health, and increasing awareness
of overall well-being.
He further explained that the festival aims not only to showcase the
achievements and activities of petrochemical companies in the field of health
but also to involve families, offer health consultations, and increase
interaction with external organizations in the health sector.
Emadi stressed the importance of addressing both physical and mental
health, particularly pointing out that mental health has been overlooked in
recent years and requires special attention. He expressed hope that the festival
would achieve its goals in this area as well.
Given the wide range of products produced by the petrochemical
industry, Emadi noted that some employees are exposed to occupational health
and safety risks. He highlighted the responsibility of the HSE department,
especially in health, to protect the well-being of employees and those exposed
to workplace hazards.
Emadi also elaborated on the macro-level strategies and policies the
HSE department has adopted to ensure the health of employees. He mentioned that
a strategic framework had been developed, and a health policy council within
the petrochemical industry has been established.
In terms of social responsibility spending, Emadi pointed out that a
significant portion of the budget is allocated to health and wellness
initiatives, and these expenditures are being strategically directed.
He also referenced various health projects and the establishment of
health laboratories, noting that efforts have been made to monitor employee
health and hire graduates in health-related fields within the petrochemical
industry.
Emadi concluded by stressing that the third Health Festival is aligned
with the broader health strategies and policies implemented by the
petrochemical industry. He expressed gratitude to all those involved in
organizing the festival, particularly the CEO of the Mahshahr Special Economic
Zone and the Petrochemical Marun Company.
