Introduction

According to the International Labour Organization (ILO[1]), nearly 3 million people die each year due to work-related accidents and diseases. Additionally, around 374 million non-fatal work-related injuries occur annually.

In Algeria, 42,032 workplace accidents were reported in 2021 by the Algerian National Social Insurance Fund for Salaried Workers. Most of these accidents were recorded in the building and construction field, followed by the exploration and drilling of the oil and gas company, which comes at the forefront of the Sonatrach Company.

Therefore, understanding health, safety, and environment (HSE) is essential in preventing accidents and ill health, which costs businesses money, reputation, and corporate existence. HSE is required in engineering, sciences, maritime, oil and gas, IT, art and medicine, administration and management, banking, and finance.
