International SOS webinar: The latest information and advice from Tianjin

International SOS Webinar:
The latest advice and information from Tianjin
Thursday, 27 August, 11 – 11.30 am (Beijing time)

Following a fire and series of explosions at the Binhai port area of Tianjin on 12 August, the clean up process is underway to get one of China’s key economic hubs back on its feet. The scale of the event has had an effect on both domestic and international business with many operations grinding to a halt due to high health and safety risks. With nearly two weeks having passed, what are the challenges facing companies now and can normal business practices resume?

Join International SOS and Control Risks experts to understand more about the aftermath of this dramatic incident. During the session, our speakers will discuss:

  • What is the current situation in Tianjin?
  • What are the medical and security risks in the Tianjin area?
  • What advice can be given to people on the ground in Tianjin and business travelers?

Speakers:


Dr. Ahmed Fahmy, Regional Medical Director, International SOS North Asia

Eliza Murray, Regional Security Information Manager, International SOS and Control Risks

If you have any questions, or would like a recording of the webinar please email.
