BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 10. Modern
industrial safety isn't just a technical issue, Head of the State
Agency for Safe Conduct of Work in Industry and Mining Control
Vusal Aghayev said at the 3rd Industrial Safety Summit, jointly
organized by the Ministry of Emergency Situations, SOCAR, and the
Azerbaijan Industrial Safety Association (AISA), in Baku today,
Trend reports.
According to him, digital transformation, the rapid development
of artificial intelligence, the reshaping of global supply chains,
and the impact of climate factors are completely rewriting the
structure of risks in the industrial environment.
He noted that reality demands more agile, advanced, and
responsible decisions.
"Today, industrial safety is one of the fundamental pillars of
national security, stability, resilience, and most importantly—the
protection of human life. The strategic course set by President
Ilham Aliyev prioritizes enhancing the culture of safety in the
country, minimizing risks, and strengthening innovation-driven
management. The Ministry of Emergency Situations is implementing
this course consistently, comprehensively, and proactively,” the
official explained.
Aghayev pointed out that innovative monitoring devices,
artificial intelligence-based risk analyses, and automated
production processes are the main pillars that determine the future
of the industry.
“The success of this transformation is possible through only one
path—a strong, effective, and reliable partnership between the
public and private sectors. In this regard, the activities and
initiatives of the Azerbaijan Industrial Safety Association carry
special importance for the sustainable development of the
ecosystem.
In the coming years, we have big and ambitious goals ahead of
us: updating safety standards to meet international requirements,
strengthening the highly skilled workforce potential, expanding the
digital monitoring infrastructure, and—most importantly—solidifying
the culture of safe behavior across all sectors of society,” he
added.
The State Agency for Safe Conduct of Work in Industry and Mining
Control (Azerbaijan) is an executive entity under the Ministry of
Emergency Situations (MES) responsible for regulating and enforcing
technical safety policies, conducting inspections, preventing
emergencies, and offering expertise in industrial and mining
operations.
