To
prevent accidents and environmental problems in the process
industries we have to identify hazards and ways to reduce risks;
in doing
so we draw heavily on our own experience and that of others.
If we know what has gone wrong in the past and why, we can
see what may go wrong in the future and how it can be prevented
by
us as individuals and organisations. To continue to make improvements
in safety we need to do more than just preserve and apply our
existing knowledge; we also need to build on what we have and
seek better ways of doing things in the future. The question
is “How do we preserve and consolidate our corporate
knowledge at a time when industry is continually changing and
becoming
leaner, and how do we set about achieving better standards
in the future?”
Hazards
XIX is the latest in the series of symposia run by the Institution
of Chemical Engineers NW Branch since 1960. These have provided
a forum for the discussion of new research and technical developments
into ways to control risks in the process industries thus helping
to meet increasing expectations of risk control.
The aim of this symposium is to bring together international experts and practitioners
in process safety and environmental protection to present and discuss the latest
technical advances and new thinking in safety and environmental management
techniques. The Symposium will also cover the storage, accessibility and development
of corporate, academic and other safety information.
