Message from the Technical Program Chair

"Keeping Planet "Water Earth" Safe and Sound: a challenge to Science and Technology" is the theme of this edition of SHEWC that has counted with valuable collaborations of great importance for the achievement of sustainable development of nations and peoples.

It is very rewarding for me to be the Technical Program Chair of SHEWC'2015 - XV Safety, Health and Environment World Congress. It is another successful event that provides high quality discussions by the international scientific community willing to show their achievements in their fields of expertise.

This year the congress brings many interesting collaborations of authors about the search for a more sustainable way of using natural resources for nations and peoples also bringing solutions for issues that mainly affects the life on earth for future generations.

It is important to address my special thanks to the local organizers and the host institution, the OERN (Institute of Engineers of Portugal - North Region), the authors for their contributions as well as the reviewers' hard work dedicating time and efforts for the revision process. I also want to point out the session's lecturer that brings interesting topics related to the theme.

I am sure that all the participants enjoy the conference as well as the beautiful city of Porto.
